Over View

Creates an over view on an existing supports ABA drawing.

An over view is an additional view created by copying an existing view at the exact location of the original view.

The view is not regenerated each time the supports ABA drawing is recreated. The over view is recognized by setting the view attribute SpPurpose to USER. An over view can only be created from a valid supports ABA view, and not from an existing user view.

An over view only copies the support elements. For example, dimensions and labels are not copied.

The over view is created as an exact copy of the original view at the same location. An additional note inside parenthesis is added to the existing view title. For example, (Support shown in full detail for clarity).

The purpose of this type of view is to clarify the design of the support elements, For example, in a plan view, by drawing the support elements in full if they are obscured and drawn in 'hidden detail' representation below the main structural supporting steelwork members.
