Hi all,
just to set the scene first of how my models etc are setup:
I have a DMC model which is kind of like a coordination model with all models referenced into and this is where I create all of my plans and sections etc from. Then I would create either a DMA or DMX model file with either the plan or section. The final step I create a separate sheet model and then reference either the DMA plan or the DMX section into the sheet model. This is my main workflow.
The problems that I'm having is that I setup a saved view within the DMC (coordination model) with the display how I want it to look i.e. cut size, element colour, line style, line weight etc. Then when I open the DMA/DMX the display styles dont always seem to retain and I have to fiddle with all the display styles to make it look correct again. Then when I open the final sheet model that has referenced the DMA/DMX again none of the display settings I previously made have disappeared and I dont know how to make it look the same as the original saved view or the DMA/DMX? Is there a way to kind of lock these settings in and make it consistent across the different models?
Apologies if this is a very noob type question, its just that I'm struggling to find any training videos etc of how this type of thing is meant to work.
Kind regards
Steven
What version of OBD are you using?
Hi Dominic,
I'm using OpenBuildings Designer Edition Update 8 Version 10.08.00.44.
Hello Steven,
Do you have any level override options turned in reference ? Also if i understand the query, whatever you see in your saved views in DMC, you want to see same thing in DMC & sheet files?

Hi Steve,
Are you not using Dynamic Views?
I see that you are on HS2. Is there not a detailed drawing set up guide? Only asking because there are a few variations possible. And also being track related there will probably be other alignment related requirements?
Display Styles going missing: It would be good to check that the Display Styles are stored centrally in a dgnlib? Sounds like they are not always available?
Editing dgnlibs and synching from/to them are tricky. And if you are working on PW, you will need the relevant access rights. Tricky even on a regular LAN, apparently.
HTH
Hi Alifur,
yeah my level overrides are all switched on in reference and yes your right I want the saved views in the DMC, DMX & sheet file to all look the same way.
