1 Create a display configuration with default properties.
2 Create display sets to associate with different view directions.
Although you can assign display sets to any view direction, you usually
create them with specific view directions in mind. For example, you may
want to create display sets for plan, elevation, and model views of a
building model. You can add more display representations to the display
sets later.
3 Create or modify display representations for each object you want to
display.
You create a new display representation by duplicating an existing display
representation for an object. Use a display representation that is similar
to the one you want to create so that you have fewer settings to modify.
Although you can use display representations in any view direction, you
usually create them with specific view directions in mind.
4 Assign new, modified, or existing display representations to display sets.
A display set can include any display representation that you specify.
Objects can use more than one representation in a display set. Remember
that you need to include at least one display representation for every
object that is to appear in a viewport.
5 Assign display sets to view directions in the display configuration.
You add display sets to a display configuration by assigning them to any
of the six orthogonal view directions or to the Default view direction.
The display set assigned to the Default view direction is used if no display
set is assigned to a view direction.
6 Assign the display configuration to a viewport.
The display configuration becomes active when you assign it to a
viewport. You can assign a display configuration to multiple viewports.
You can also export display configurations to other drawings.
