When Update from View is selected, all new view parameters are loaded from the MicroStation environment for the selected view number. This includes the view origin and delta, the view attributes, and the level display settings. The orientation and rotation automatically is set to achieve the best fit. If the current print scale with the new print area results in a print size that fits the paper, the current print scale is left unchanged. Otherwise, the print size is maximized. This behavior permits Update from View to be used to update level display and print attributes without disturbing the current print layout.

If the print area is Fence, the behavior is the same as updating with a print area of View, followed by placing a new fence.

If the print area is Sheet, the behavior is the same as updating with a print area of View, followed by changing the print area to Sheet.
