1. On the View tab, find the Graphics panel and select View Templates ➢ Manage View
Templates.

In the View Templates dialog box (Figure 4.28), you will find icons to duplicate, rename,
or delete view templates below the list on the left. On the right are the view properties
that can be applied when the view template is applied to a view.

Figure 4.28
View Templates
dialog box

Notice the column named Include on the right of this dialog box. This column allows you
to include or exclude various view properties when you’re applying the view template.
In Figure 4.28, notice that View Scale and Detail Level are not included (unchecked). This
would allow you to apply this template to plans of multiple scales and detail levels, while
applying settings such as visibility of Object Styles, Phase Filter, and View Range without
affecting the View Scale or Detail Level.
Also notice in Figure 4.28 the custom view parameter we created earlier: Zone. This value
can be applied with the view template, which will have the effect of cataloging the views
in a customized hierarchy within the Project Browser. Changes to view templates are
automatically reflected in the views to which they have been assigned.
