View Name

Edit a View Name

1

Click on the 'Manage Views' button which is located on the HOME menu ribbon.

2

The Manage Views dialog box will now appear showing a list of the views you have created.

Select the View you want to edit the name for and click the Edit button or, double-click on the View.

3

The Edit View dialog will now appear as shown below. The View name is highlighted in Red.

The first part of the View name (highlighted in Blue) is automatically generated when you create your View. This part of the View name is taken from the Show Name in Drawing Properties, so if you only want to edit the show name, do this in Drawing Properties instead.
When you edit the show name in Drawing Properties, all of you views will be updated automatically as long as the name matches the one in the View. A reason the name may not match is if you have edited the View name manually.

To edit the View Name manually, just select the text and type the new name. Make sure the name is friendly and descriptive so you can find it more easily.

NOTE: The name of the View is used for the file name when you export the View to a PDF, DWG etc so not all keyboard characters will be allowed.
