How do I adjust sizes of individual views on a drawing sheet?

This tutorial requires:

DesignSpark Mechanical V6.0

Drawing Sheet views can be created in DSM with a Creator or Engineer subscription.

By default, the views are tied to each other by the scale/size ratio. To change that:

  1. Click on a viewport and head over to the left-hand properties pane.
  2. Go to the 'orientation' option, set alignment to 'Independent' and type to 'General' or other perspective.
  3. Change the 'Scale' numerical ratio of the view to your choice. Press the enter key to see the changes take effect.

You should now be able to change the size of one view without affecting the others.

You can also try inserting a General view and then change the perspective from the 'Properties' tab. This will have its scaling independent of the other views.
