Setting standard viewport preferences

Stories must be created before creating standard viewports (see Setting up the building structure with stories). The default viewport scale and title block border settings can be set prior to adding standard viewports to a project.

To set viewport preferences:

Select the command.

The Create Standard Viewports dialog box opens.

Click Preferences.

The Create Viewport Preferences dialog box opens. The preferences apply as viewports are added to the list for inclusion in the project.

Set the default scale for each type of viewport. To automatically add a title block border object to each sheet layer, click Title Block Border Selection; select the style from the Resource Selector and, if appropriate, set drawing size. The scale settings affect only the viewport scale, not the layer scale of any model layers.
