(see Fig-1) Sometimes it takes a bigger area than the attached one. So it takes extra time &amp; effort for these processes <BR /> <BR /> - offset the edges and <BR /> - Drag the elements<BR /> -Move the sub-elements<BR /> <BR /> I am expecting a solution/suggestion/idea to avoid/ above procedures.<BR /> 1. It's really time-consuming. Is there any easy way to compose the drawing in the layout? <BR /> 2. I want to fix the extra area (fig-1) within the view map. Is it possible?</T></DIV> Thu, 25 May 2023 22:01:54 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/How-to-reduce-the-effort-to-organize-a-view-in-layout-offset/m-p/266372#M41431 Anonymous 2023-05-25T22:01:54Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/How-to-reduce-the-effort-to-organize-a-view-in-layout-offset/m-p/266373#M41432 use fit to frame.<BR /> <BR /> set a drawing up the way you want it with fit to frame on<BR /> save it as a favorite and you can simply apply the favorite<BR /> to any newly placed layout.<BR /> <BR /> David Thu, 30 Jul 2020 17:04:06 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/How-to-reduce-the-effort-to-organize-a-view-in-layout-offset/m-p/266373#M41432 Dave Seabury 2020-07-30T17:04:06Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/How-to-reduce-the-effort-to-organize-a-view-in-layout-offset/m-p/266374#M41433 <BLOCKQUOTE>Dave wrote:<BR /> use fit to frame.<BR /> <BR /> set a drawing up the way you want it with fit to frame on<BR /> save it as a favorite and you can simply apply the favorite<BR /> to any newly placed layout.<BR /> <BR /> David </BLOCKQUOTE> Dear David,<BR /> Thanks for this life-saving solution. Although it's an easy solution I was totally unaware of it. One more thing to know. After drag &amp; drop a view I still need to take time to apply the favorite. Can I make this favorite default?<BR /> I mean, Are there any way thus my view will automatically take this settings/favorite. <BR /> Thanks again.<BR /> <BR /> Avi Sun, 02 Aug 2020 15:58:23 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/How-to-reduce-the-effort-to-organize-a-view-in-layout-offset/m-p/266374#M41433 Anonymous 2020-08-02T15:58:23Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/How-to-reduce-the-effort-to-organize-a-view-in-layout-offset/m-p/266375#M41434 Apply the favourite before you place a drawing.<BR /> Like any other tool, the current tool settings are what will be used when you next use the tool.<BR /> So apply the favourite to set the defaults.<BR /> Or you can ALT click (pick up parameters) any existing drawing to set the tool defaults to the same as that placed drawing.<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> Barry.
