Composing Drawings as Sheet Models

In MicroStation V8 2004 Edition, a sheet is analogous to a rectangular piece of paper. A sheet is contained in a sheet model.

You can compose a drawing on a sheet using either or both of the following methods:

• attaching saved views of a design model to the sheet model as references

• drawing and annotating directly in the sheet model

In either case you define the sheet's dimensions, borders, and title block. You also set the scale factors applied to the geometry and annotations in the model itself as well as the physical scale at which the sheet is printed relative to the selected paper size.
