where did you go, my darling "drawing"?

I created a test BV and clicked ok in "create drawing view"-dialog before I
payed attention to in which file the "drawing Model" was created.

So the question is - if I see a saved view in a "composition" file - that I
suspect have a DV/BV somewhere - How do I find out where it is?

    Thanks for the link. From the bits that I've read so far it appears that Saved Views form a large part of BV's and DV's. What if we as a company don't use Saved Views? Is that likely to be a problem in the use of BV's and DV's? Are there other ways of using these?

    Dynamic Views essentially are Saved Views that happen to be based on Clip Volumes, with Display Styles thrown in for resymbolization.  Because of this you cannot have one without the other.   Though as Eric mentioned, I'm not sure why a company would have a policy to not use Saved Views?  Or is it that you just haven't used them up to this point?

    Building Views simply add Part & Family based resymbolization to the picture, along with automated drawing rules for Door and Window IDs, Space Labels, etc.   But the underlying technology is still a Dynamic View.

    It's not that we stop people using Saved Views, just that they have never really been part of our workflows. People create drawings in other ways. Yoy could could count on one finger the numebr of users that have used SV's, and that would be me. I have never used them for a complete working project: only really for testing. As I said we create drawings in other ways.

  • The nice thing about this process is that it's much more interactive and "obvious" than using a traditional saved view IMHO.    So even though the core technology may be the same, it's much different in practice.  

    I would certainly recommend the documentation mentioned below as a source to refer back to as you begin exploring this area.

     



  • Do you use DEM?
    Saved Views interface is much simpler - the implications and use can be tricky.
