Renaming a View

Edit view names to reflect content more clearly and streamline project management.

Renaming from the Project Browser

  • In the Project Browser, right-click the view name and select Rename, or press F2 after selecting the view.

  • Alternatively, use a slow double-click to rename a view.

  • In the Rename View dialog, enter a new name and click OK.

  • If a level or plan view shares the same name, a prompt will appear. Choose Yes or No as needed.

Renaming from View Properties

  • Access view properties through one of the following methods:

    • Right-click the view name in the Project Browser and select Properties.

    • In the drawing area, right-click and select View Properties.

  • In the Properties Palette, under Identity Data, modify the View Name field.

  • Click OK to apply changes.

Renaming Corresponding Levels and Views

  • If a level has associated plan views (floor, structural, or ceiling), they share the same name.

  • Renaming a level triggers a prompt to rename corresponding views.

  • Renaming a view with the same name as a level prompts an option to rename the level and other views.

  • A “Do not show this message again” checkbox is available to streamline renaming.

By efficiently renaming views, users can maintain a well-organized project structure and improve workflow clarity.
