Create view frames. When you create view frames, you must select the template file that contains the layout tabs that will be used as the basis for your sheets. This template must contain predefined viewports. You can define these viewports with extra vertices so you can change their shape after the sheets have been created.
Master It Open the MasteringPlanProduction.dwg. Run the Create View Frames wizard to create view frames for the Bike Path alignment in the current drawing. (Accept the defaults for all other values.)
Edit view frames. The Edit View Frames command allows the user some freedom on how the frames will appear.
Master It Open the MasteringPlan Production1.dwg, and move the VF- (9) view frame to Sta. 40+50 to lessen the overlap. Then adjust the match line so that it is now at Sta. 38+15.
Generate sheets and review Sheet Set Manager. You can create sheets in new drawing files or in the current drawing. Use the option to create sheets in the current drawing when a) you’ve referenced in the view frame group, or b) you have a small project. The resulting sheets are based on the template you chose when you created the view frames. If the template contains customized viewports, you can modify the shape of the viewport to better fit your sheet needs.
Master It Continue working in the MasteringPlanProduction1.dwg file or you can open MasteringPlanProduction2.dwg. Run the Create Sheets wizard to create plan and profile sheets for Bike Path using the template Mastering (Imperial) Plan and Profile.dwt. (Accept the defaults for all other values.)
Create section views. More and more municipalities are requiring section views. Whether this is a mile-long road or a meandering stream, Civil 3D can handle it nicely via Plan Production.
Master It Open MasteringPlanProduction3.dwg. Create Plan Production Sheets with the defaults using the methods you learned earlier.
