Setting Sheet Layer Properties

Once created, the sheet layers display on the Sheet Layers tab of the Organization dialog box, where various layer properties can be set and edited.

Sheet layers are always at a 1:1 scale, Active Only, and set to Top/Plan view.

 

To edit sheet layers:

1.	Select Tools > Organization. Alternatively, click the Layers button on the View bar.

The Organization dialog box opens.

2.	Select the Sheet Layers tab and the Details view.

The Sheet Layers tab opens, with a list of the current layers in the drawing. Only the active layer can be changed in Details view. Visibilities view does not apply to sheet layers.

3.	To change layer properties, select one or more layers and click Edit to open the Edit Sheet Layers dialog box.

 

Parameter	Description
Name	Displays the selected layer name; to change this name, enter a new name
DPI	Specifies the printing resolution (Dots Per Inch) for printing the raster rendered viewports in the selected layer (does not affect vector geometry or bitmaps that are inside that viewport)
Origin	Specifies the X and Y coordinates of the sheet layer origin; each sheet layer has its own origin
Page Setup	Opens the Page Setup dialog box for entry of sheet layer printing parameters; this saves time later, when different sheet layers can be automatically sent to different printers with different print area settings (see Page Setup)
