Thanks to CADDIGEST for posting this tutorial !
Here's something useful that we all need to know about getting the right names and titles from your levels to your sheets.
Most of us start by
creating Levels, naming them and
making a Plan View of that level.
No problem. Then we accept the
level name as the
view name.
Again no problem. This works just fine for me because I like my plan views to be representative of the associiated level it is on.
However when we place this view on a sheet we may want a less technical or more friendly name.
So what we can then do is change the properties of the view and set the '
Title on Sheet' to be different. For axample we have a level named
T/FTG and the plan view is named T/FTG which is ok but
when we place this on a sheet we want the title bubble to say
Foundation Plan. See below the view properties dialog box and resulting
title bubble when placed on a sheet.
Right click on the view in the
project browser to get to the
view properties.

The
Sheet name is simply applied to the properties of the Sheet itself. You can
right click a Sheet name in the '
project browser' and '
rename' it or you can go into the '
properties' and set it there.
So in summary we have the following property variables:
1. The
Level Name property ie:
Top of Joist
2. The
View Name property ie:
Top of Joist or
Main Floor
3. The view
Title on Sheet property ie:
Existing Main Floor Plan
4. The
Sheet Name property ie:
First and Second Floor Plans
