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.

Note: For more information about frames and title blocks, see Creating a Default Frame and Title Block.

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.
