Editing a Sheet and Its Background

Editing a sheet specifies it as the current one and activates the main view, which supports the geometry directly created in the sheet. Editing a sheet background specifies the sheet as the current one and activates the background view, which is dedicated to frames and title blocks and to the instantiation of 2D components.

Before you begin:
  • Open a 3D shape representation containing a layout.
  • Open the layout. The main view is active.
  1. To activate the background view, use one of the following methods:
    • Right-click the sheet in the Sheet Browser and select Edit Background.
    • In the tree, right-click the sheet (Sheet.1) and select Edit Sheet Background.

    The background view is activated. You can start adding a frame and a title block, or instantiating 2D components.

  2. To go back to the main view, use one of the following methods:
    • Right-click the sheet in the Sheet Browser and select Edit Sheet.
    • In the tree, right-click the sheet (Sheet.1) and select Edit Sheet.
    • In the tree, double-click a view (in this case, the selected view is activated).

    The main view is activated.

You can add geometry, dimensions, annotations, dress-up and so on.
