Working with Tiled Views in Model Workspace

You can divide the drawing window into multiple views. Each view can contain a unique view of the drawing. This lets you view different areas of the drawing, whether they are plan views in different detailing grades, or the model from different view points in 3D space.

You can work in only one view at a time, the current view.

Tiled views do not overlap on the workspace like drawing windows can. It is just as if you divided the drawing window into two, three, or four rectangular areas. You can arrange these areas in several combinations.

A group of tiled views is called a ViewTile configuration.

You can define, save, and restore ViewTile configurations using the View Tiles dialog box.

1. Do one of the following:
   • Click View > View Tiles
   • Type ViewTiles.

   *Active Model Display* lets you use the configuration as is when you opened the dialog box.

   • 2D. Initiates all ViewTiles of the configuration you define with the current view.
   • 3D. Lets you define standard orthographic or isometric 3D views in Replace view with for each ViewTile.

   • Active View Tile. Applies the ViewTile configuration to the current view. You can further subdivide standard ViewTile configurations.
