Creating dependent views may be useful in the following scenarios:
You are working on a large project with an extensive floor plate, and you want to crop the view into
smaller segments so you can place them on sheets. When you make changes to dependent segments of
the view, you can quickly see how they effect the view as a whole by looking at the primary view.
You need to place a view on more than one sheet.
Dependent views display in the Project Browser under the primary view. You can insert matchlines to indicate
where the view is split, and view references to link views.
The following image shows a project view, Level 1, that has been split into 2 dependent views: Left and
Right. Level 1 is the primary view and is shown in the drawing area with its crop region, and the crop regions
for the dependent views visible, a matchline indicating where the view is split (dashed blue line), and view
references (1/A102 and 1/A101).
NOTE In the following image, the graphic display of the matchline has been overridden. The default graphic
display of a matchline is a dashed black line.
Supported View Types for Dependent Views
You can create dependent views for plan views, elevation views, section views, and callout views. When you
create dependent section, elevation, or callout views, a new section, elevation, or callout symbol is generated
on top of the original symbol. You can move the new symbol independently.
Visibility and Graphic Settings for Dependent Views
When you add view-specific information to a primary view or a dependent view, it is visible in all related
views. You can specify visibility and graphic overrides to individual elements on a per-view basis. This allows
you to clean up areas where there is overlap between related views. For more information, see
in a View on page 208.
Dependent Views and View Properties
A dependent view inherits view properties and view-specific elements from the primary view. Synchrony is
kept between the primary view and dependent views for the following view properties:
