JKEdmo Posted Tuesday at 12:15 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:15 AM Another forum discussion touched on plans (layout boxes) aligning exactly from page to page. To achieve this I currently just copy/paste/hold position my layout box to the new sheet and update the view. But, can somebody explain to me how the other "Snap to Active CAD Point" method works in order to get exact positioning (or point me to a video)? I tried this but couldn't quite figure it out. I figure it's time I learned. Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted Tuesday at 12:37 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:37 AM I just make a cad rectangle that matches the sheet size. I display the sheet boundary to get it right. Then when I send to layout - full sheet all my plan views are perfectly aligned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKEdmo Posted Tuesday at 12:59 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 12:59 AM This is how I understood the procedure after reading the help file: In my PLAN view, I place a temporary point as an alignment reference: On my layout sheet, I place another temporary point as the destination reference point... When I send to layout, the layout box will align at those two points. Is this correct? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Jim, With this option, the layout box is placed on the page so that the CAD point sits on the left side of the box, centered vertically. CAD points placed in Plan do not affect this. This is clearer when you select the layout box: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
