| 1 | When you start the Projected View command, you are prompted to select a view. Select the view from which you want to create the derived view by simply moving the cursor over that view. |
| 2 | As soon as you move over the view, a bounding box of the derived view appears on the screen. The bounding box is locked to the cursor. As you move the cursor toward either side of the view or toward the top or bottom,  the position of the bounding box changes to indicate the direction in which the new view will be projected. |
| 3 | When the bounding box is located in the direction in which you want to project the view, click to select that position. The program quickly calculates the view. It displays a preview image of the view, attached to the cursor.  Note that the projected view is aligned with the view from which it is projected, unless the Align to main check box is cleared in the Drawing View category. |
| 4 | The program prompts you to enter the view origin. Click to position the view. |
| 5 | The Project command remains active so that you can select another view to project. When you have completed projecting views, end the command. |
| Note
The scale of the projected view always matches the one of the view from which it was derived. If you change the scale of the main view, the derived views also change. Other factors which affect the appearance of the view, such as the visibility of its view name and the visibility of specific types of entities, are controlled from the various categories under Drawing of the Options/Properties dialog box. After you create a projected view, you can change many of these properties from the various categories of the Drawing View. |
