13.2 SETTING UP SHEETS

In the Properties Palette under the Extents section, Check the box next to Crop View and Crop Region Visible
Adjust the extents as shown in Figure 13.3 then click the green checkmark.

TIP

What area is chosen by the crop view extents is what will be shown when the view is added to a sheet. The view title will be justified to the left extent, therefore, to work efficiently, pull the extents in as close to the drawing as possible to avoid editing in the sheets.
