  • That's all well and good, but how do you select whether it is a plan or a section when generating the DV? Or whether to create a Drawing model? That has to be done manually, I'm presuming. In my (albeit limited) tests, they are all "section views" and it doesn't copy the drawing resymbolisation rules through either so the results are next to useless.

    Maybe I'm missing something...?

  • Hi Nigel,

    Using Ss6 I just converted two DEM Defs to Saved Views-  the one in a plan orientation (and with "plan" in the name) was converted to a Plan DV, and likewise for the one in a Section orientation.    I won't pretend to remember the underlying logic since I haven't used this tool in a few years, but at first glance it seemed to provide the expected results.   One of my DEM defs also included a Structural drawing rule and that did make it across as well.

    From there, keep in mind that the tool was only designed to generate Saved Views, so makes no attempt to generate corresponding Drawing or Sheet Models.
