Sheets
Sheets are the construction documents that you publish or plot. You create blank sheets, and then place
view drawings directly onto the sheets as reference drawings. The sheet references the view, which in turn
references the construct. As a result, any changes to the construct are automatically reflected in the affected
view and sheet drawings when you open them or reload their referenced drawings.
