View |
The Create Multiple Viewports command generates 2D drawings from a 3D model and creates up to seven sheet layer viewports configured with several orthographic views and one isometric view of the model.
If you run the command from a sheet layer, the viewports are added to that sheet layer. If you run the command from a design layer, a new sheet layer for the viewports is created automatically.
To create as many as four interior elevation viewports of the same space simultaneously, see Creating interior elevation viewports.
To create multiple viewports simultaneously:
Select the command.
The Create Multiple Viewports dialog box opens.
Specify the desired viewport scale, views, and angle projection method.

Viewports are created at the designated layer scale, using the current layer and class visibility and print area settings, with the rendered style set to hidden line rendering. Viewports are aligned horizontally and vertically, separated by a fixed distance, and centered on the sheet layer.
Optionally, configure the viewports’ layer and class settings (Active, Show, or Gray Others only), annotate the viewport, or modify the rendering style or other viewport parameters.
For more information, see Layer or class visibility changes for viewports and saved views using visibility columns, Creating annotations for sheet layer viewports, and Viewport properties.
