To specify settings for automated drawings

Note: Before creating drawings for bridge models created in previous versions of the program, please make some small update to each pier and force the pier object to be regenerated so it can be recognized by the drawing routines (e.g., change a value and then change it back in the properties).

    On the Analysis and Reporting ribbon tab, select the Settings tool in the Drawings group.

    or

    key in bmreport settings dynamicviewsettingscommand

  4. (Optional) Check the option for Auto Fit and then specify the auto fitting parameters.
  5. (Optional) Type the style names to use for hidden lines, dimension lines, and text as needed.
