Marine mode layout style rules define the number of views per document, per sheet, and per region in a drawings-by-rule drawing document. You use Tools > Define Layout Style in the Drawings and Reports task to create new layout styles. For more information on using this command, see the Orthographic Drawings User's Guide.
The delivered layout style rules are as follows:
-
Document assignment rules that define how many views are in each document
-
Sheet assignment rules that define how many views are in each sheet
-
Region layout rules that define how many views are in each region
All delivered region layout rules have margins set to 2, with all borders and labels turned off. The software populates the views within a region from bottom-to-top and left-to-right across the region.
