Layouts

AutoCAD Paper Space Layouts

In MicroStation, sheet models are used for storing drawing layouts. To begin the process of documenting a design, you first create a new sheet model.

Next, to create a layout within the sheet model, you attach referenced views of the main model showing the desired viewpoints and data (use the References tool on the Primary Tools tool box). These views are often self-references, which means that the current file is referenced into itself. Note that when self-referencing a model in the current file, the first open view is displayed. Layout drawing views can also come from any other design file containing pertinent information.
