Select the Viewport, then align a common reference point (like grid lines or title blocks) with the Guide Grid.
Repeat for other sheets to ensure consistent placement across multiple pages.
Step 5: Apply the Same Guide Grid to Multiple Sheets
Select another sheet from the Project Browser.
In the Properties Palette, assign the same Guide Grid to this sheet.
Align views based on the Guide Grid to maintain uniformity.
Final Tips:
✅ Use Grid Intersections to align title blocks, viewports, and annotations.
✅ Assign the same Guide Grid to all sheets to maintain consistency.
✅ Adjust the Guide Grid as needed but avoid frequent changes after placement.
