FiGuRE 14.73 The East Elevation layout after the layers are frozen and
the viewport is adjusted
Setting up the Site Plan Sheet
The site plan should show the cabin plan, the driveway, the access road, and the
image but not the elevations or much of the information shown on the previous
layouts. Because of the odd shape of the property line, you'll delete the current
viewport, draw a polyline, and turn that polyline into a viewport. Here's how:
1. Open the C-101.dwg sheet file and make the C-101 layout.
2. Switch to the Model thumbnail using the Quick View Layouts button
in the status bar.
3. Make the current layer A-ANNO-REFR, and attach 13C-SPLAY1.dwg
by configuring the Attach External Reference dialog box, as shown in
Figure 14.75.
4. Use the upper-left corner of the deck as the insertion point for the
site plan reference (see Figure 14.76).
5. Make the A-ANNO-NPLT layer current, and create a new viewport
extending from the upper-left corner of the title block to the lower-
right corner of the title block.
