We just invoked disconnected mode for the cached dynamic views on an complicated detail sheet. The performance gain was very impressive. But the saved view names listed under "orientation" are gone, replaced with "unknown". What is the intended procedure to reconnect and refresh a saved view if, say, the underlying model has significant changes? Or is disconnect-ing intended to be a one- time irreversible process?

Hi Griffith,
Though written for V8i, does this wiki outline what you are seeing?
https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/w/building_analysis_and_design__wiki/22199/using-cached-view-keyins-along-with-ms-ref-no-cve-load-in-ss6
These settings change the caching behaviour non-destructively.
In the help you will find: "Disconnected - Retains the cache in its state. This allows very fast file opening."
Follow this trail for more info (including key-in that allow you to apply cache settings to a selection of files by batch process) :
Home > Drawing Composition > View Composition and Sheet Composition > Displaying 3D Models on 2D Drawings > Cached Visible Edges
This is different and significantly improved from V8i.
Regards
Marc
There are different ways in which you can reload the cache. If you want to reload a single reference, you can reload it from the Reference dialog, either by selecting the reference and clicking the reload icon or selecting Reload from the reset pop-up menu. You may also use the key-in REFERENCE VISIBLEEDGES CACHED SYNCHRONIZE <file_name>.
If you want to reload all the models within a file, reloading each reference separately can be time consuming. In such case, you can use the key-in REFERENCE VISIBLEEDGES ALLMODELS SYNCHRONIZECACHE.
In this case the key-in is REFERENCE VISIBLEEDGES ALLMODELS SYNCHRONIZECACHE.
PS: When working in the 2d detail or general arrangement models, we often need to switch levels on/off in the Drawing / Sheet model.
Standard practice pre-DV/CVE's .
In this case, it is quicker to activate the CVE model, and make the changes in the Drawing / Sheet model, then de-activate the CVE.
It would be good if Bentley can ensure that the level mask / settings are preserved in subsequent updates. Not sure if the coders realise how unweildy CVE's are if the only place the levels etc can be changed is in the 3d Design Model where the DV/CVE is generated; especially when the user has to wait for the CVE processing to complete each time a level is turned/on/off.
