Dividing larger drawing

[Discus84]

Hi,

Attached is a plan of an interior. It does not fit into specified paper size (36x24) in the scale we use (1:8)

I would like to divide it into 3 parts...

Usually we :

1) use 3 viewports, but some of the dimensions would stick out (be unfinished) at the edge and it looks (ugly and confusing).

2) copy the piece into 3 separate parts in model space and dimension the parts(more work)

 I don't like any of the options although the second option looks semi decent.

What is the proper way of approaching such layout? Could someone provide an example?

Really just a guess, for the dims add << & >> to dim lines at edge, so it looks like dims continue. You could make a new dim in pspace and override the measurement with correct value, Chspace gives some sort of answer make a copy of the Dim at same location.

Would a Field referencing the model space dimension work?

 

I'll think about it, I've done this before, though I might have just used a dimoverride.

Another quick option is a wipe out around viewport  (under vievport frame). This creates a buffer and none of the lines touch viewport frame. Looks OK implying a partial view.

This must be a common thing in more elaborate drawings, I just haven't seen one like that.
