"Drafting Views
... 2D views specifically designed to show information that is not generated directly from the model....used to show standardized details or information that is typical of a certain area but doesn’t necessarily have a connection with the model. Drafting views can also be used to display detailed 2D information about something in the model."
"drafting views created separately from the model or imported can be referenced in the model and linked to a callout so your drawing sheets always maintain a parametric relationship to their associated details.
...using the Callout Detail tool allows you to create dynamic details that are generated out of the model with 2D drafting elements overlaid on top. ...these details are connected with the model elements, so any model changes are reflected in the details."
"Drafting views can be inserted onto sheets and can also be referenced to sections or elevations as a similar (SIM) condition.
To reference a drafting view to a model, follow these steps:
1. Create your new drafting view: switch to the View tab, and in the Create panel select Drafting View.
2. Import a DWG file, or use detail lines, filled regions, and other drafting tools from the Annotate tab to create the 2D detail.
3. Switch to a view where you want to indicate a callout that will reference this newly created drafting view.
4. Select the View tab again, and from the Create panel choose Callout.
5. Prior to drawing the callout bubble in the model where the detail explains the condition, from the Options bar check the Reference Other View option in the Options bar and choose the drafting view you just created. Now draw the callout bubble where you wish the drafting view to be referenced."
