3. Click the Show Title drop-down list and select No.
4. Next, for the Show Extension Line setting, uncheck the box.
Before clicking OK to make the new type, let's verify an important property in this dialog
box. The Show Title property is set to When Multiple Viewports, which will display the
titles only when multiple views are placed on a sheet. The view title is not displayed if
only one view is placed on a sheet, as in an overall floor plan.
5. Click OK to close the Type Properties dialog box, and you'll see that the viewport you
had selected is already changed to the new type. Select the other viewport and switch it
to No Title in the Type Selector.
When you have completed the exercise, you can also add some detail lines to the sheet to
further embellish the descriptive presentation, as shown in Figure 20.20. Although you cannot
snap to the geometry within the viewports, you can use the arrow keys to nudge the lines into
alignment as required.

Creating “exploded” axonometric Views
A very useful tool to help you present your designs in a unique way is the Displace Elements
tool. This tool allows you to create an “exploded” axon—essentially allowing you to take the
geometry of a 3D view and move it without impacting the model. In Figure 20.21, you can
see the use of the Displace Elements tool on the left and the original model on the right. The
displacement is view specific, so in all other views the model integrity remains.
