  • Create a template containing two sheet frames using the following format:

    Sheet1:

    • Sheet Style: A0 ISO
    • Orientation: Landscape

    Sheet2:

    • Sheet Style: A0 ISO
    • Orientation: Portrait
  • Open a drawing representation and create a frame (Sheet Style: A0 ISO and orientation: Landscape), a title block and a revision table using a template representation.

For this scenario, resize the frame, update the title block and add revision to the revision table.
