Description

Viewport

Displays the name of the selected section viewport

Design Layers tab/Viewports tab

The Design Layers tab displays the names of all design layers in the file. The Viewports tab displays the names of sheet layer viewports to which you could add a section line (the View must be Top/Plan, Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Left, or Right). Each item that contains a section line associated with the selected section viewport has a check mark in the column next to it. Click the column to add or remove section lines as needed.

Deleting all section line instances does not delete the section viewport, and new instances can be created at any time. However, deleting a section viewport deletes all section line instances.
