Then… If you want to…
■ To overlay a previously attached construct to a view,
click Set to Overlay.
NOTE If one of these commands is unavailable, its mode is
already selected.
7 Click OK.
8 To update your project with the new file information, select the file in the Project Navigator tree, right-click,
and click Re-Path File.
WARNING When you re-path a project that was saved in a version of Architectural Desktop prior to 2007, the
drawings are saved in the Architectural Desktop 2007 file format. You will no longer be able to open these
drawings in a version of Architectural Desktop prior to 2007. Synchronizing a project with the project standards
will also save the project drawings in the Architectural Desktop 2007 file format. AutoCAD Architecture 2008
uses the Architectural Desktop 2007 file format so drawings are interchangeable between these releases. For
more information, see
“ Updating (Re-path) the Project ” on page 292 .
9 In the Reference File Re-Path Queue worksheet, click Re-path.
For more information on updating files, see “ Updating (Re-path) the Project ” on page 292.
Regenerating a View Drawing
Use this procedure to regenerate all view drawings in the project. You need to regenerate a view drawing if its content
has changed—for example, if you have changed the constructs assigned to it. When you regenerate a view drawing,
you reload the external references used to generate it.
1 In the Project Navigator, click the Views tab.
2 Click the button.
All view drawings in the project are updated with the changed constructs.
Placing a View Drawing onto a Sheet
When a view drawing is placed onto a sheet to create a sheet view, the viewport scale, layer settings, and display
configuration of the view drawing are used in the sheet view. The view direction, however, is determined by the sheet.
NOTE For information about placing a model space view, instead of a whole view drawing, onto a sheet, see “ Placing a
Model Space View onto a Sheet ” on page 257 .
When generating a model space view or a new view drawing from a callout tool, you define the drawing scale to be
used. This scale is also used in any sheet views generated from the callout view.
Layer changes (including xref dependent layer changes) from the view drawing can be displayed and updated in the
sheet view, if the project has been set up to synchronize sheets with views, as described in “
Synchronizing View Drawing
Layers with Sheet View Layers ” on page 259.
If a project has been set up to synchronize view drawing layers with sheet view layers, viewport layer overrides in sheet
views will be overwritten by the layer configuration of the view drawing when the external references are loaded or
reloaded. If not, layer viewport overrides in the sheet view will behave as normal viewport layer overrides.
