Cached views showing as out of date

I am currently caching my dynamic views as per the best practice wherever possible however iam finding that sometimes (not all) as soon as i cache a view it shows as being out of date and the view container file is showing as out of date even though the file hasnt been opened. i'll synch the view again and it goes away. Again sometimes when i go into sheet files the dynamic view shows up in the references as "child reference cache is out of date" when i have just literally synched the view and left the file. This doesnt happen all the time just at random times and with random files (ie i have 4 DV files taken from one view container and it will happen on one of the DV files but not on the other 3).

  • Rob,
    Just to better understand your setup - are the Design, Drawing and Sheet Models in separate DGN files and/or folders? If so, are all under the same parent folder/location? Do you get the same out of sync message when opening the Drawing Model vs. the Sheet?



  • Hi Steve,
    In answer to your questions;
    Yes the design, drawing and sheet files are all separate and in separate folders and yes they are all under the same parent folder / project interface.
    When i open the dynamic view it says the cached view is up to date but when i open the sheet file which the dynamic view is referenced into it gives the "child reference cache is out of date" message in the references window.
  • This is extremely frustrating now and VERY time consuming. I have 25 drg sheet files to issue and each one i open gives me the message that "child reference cache is out of date" on one or more referecne files and i have to open each and every one to ensure that it isnt. So far i havent found a single one that has been out of date and required synching. Bearing in mind this is the approved Bentley "best practice" way of doing things to find such a fundemental issue is very disappointing and yet another nail in the coffin of aecoSIM.
  • Hi Rob,
    I'm at a bit of a loss as this isn't anything I've directly experienced myself. Has this always been the case when using DVs, or is it a more recent development? I'm assuming that when opening the Sheet Models, the 3D Models are not opened by anyone else?



  • Hi Steve and Rob,
    Was this resolved? We recently have experienced the same problem. We synced references in all relevent drawing files but the sheet files, to which they are attached, still show the "child reference cache is out of date" message.

    I have run the RefVisibleEdge_Sync.txt batch process but it does not seem to sync child references in the sheet files and instead we have had to go into every single sheet file and sync references manually. This is obviously a terrible use of our time.
    What is the most efficient method for syncing references in all drawings and sheet files?

    BTW our file setup is:
    Project_directory > models > model.dgn files
    Project_directory > models > level_master.dgn files - references model.dgn files relevant to each floor level.
    Project_directory > models > master.dgn - references level_master files (nesting depth 1). dynamic saved views created here.
    Project_directory > drawings > drawing.dgn - references master dynamic view (nesting depth 2)
    Project_directory > sheets > sheet01.dgn - references drawing.dgn (nesting depth 3) and any 2d drawings (no nesting)
