Cached views showing as out of date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practice wherever possible however iam finding that sometimes (not all) as soon as i cache a view it shows as being out of date and the view container file is showing as out of date even though the file hasnt been opened.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 Again sometimes when i go into sheet files the dynamic view shows up in the references as "child reference cache is out of date" when i have just literally synched the view and left the file.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).

  • Mark,

     

    You are welcome to mail me at dopperman@latbou.co.za, I would like nothing more to set up a MS teams meeting with you and show you in real time the immense frustration we have to live through every day to produce drawings. Pressure is mounting in our drafting office and we cannot produce drawings in a timely manner.

  • Hello David,

    Please can you give us some more information so that we can address your comment?

    Which version are you using and in what context?

    Regards

    Marc

  • This software is broken and extremely frustrating, everything takes so long to complete and the clippings or whatever you want to call them DO NOT WORK!!

  • I'll second that
    Dynamic Views have now been commercially available for around 6-7 years. Will Bentley Systems actually get around to making this work reliably and consistently? I personally could not recommend the use of this 'feature' on a sizeable commercial project, except for very simple, early stage drawings. Last week I went to a presentation by a large enterprise style engineering group (that employs about 16 000 people), they to were having problems with DVs, and as the project progressed to production information, they abandoned any attempts to use DVs for producing drawings, and reverted to extractions, ...... this is in 2016/17.
    When will Bentley Systems get to grips with the fact that the development priority right now is to get what is already there working consistently, reliably, clearly, ...... instead of leaving these things half finished, half working, and moving on to the next set of 'great new features' that are not really 'needed': example, the so called Building Views and Drawing Seeds/Templates are frankly more trouble than they are worth, create more problems, and are a 'waste of space'.

    'It remains one of quite a large number of problems within AecoSIM that are simply ignored'
    Totally agree.
    Get this problems fixed and working properly before moving on to the next round of, .... ' wow, look at this, it's really cool'

    'it simply isnt worth the wasted time and effort that occurs on an almost daily basis'
    Totally agree
    This has been my experience with Bentley Building products over the last 10-12 years. And I guarantee you I have a lot more 'patience' than the rank and file CAD user/architect/engineer, ......... if I'm fed up with it, ..... I won't tell you how they feel!

  • Joey,
    No it was never resolved. It remains one of quite a large number of problems within AecoSIM that are simply ignored. The company i work for has taken the decision that we wont actually use AecoSIM for anymore BIM projects or projects that require us to produce drawings from a model, it simply isnt worth the wasted time and effort that occurs on an almost daily basis, so we have switched to a.n.other well known modelling software and are very happy with the results.
