As a long time user and big fan of DEM, I get a little peeved when Bentley Support keep repeating the mantra that DEM is old technology and will be phased out and I quote:
'Drawing Views will replace Drawing Extractions at some point in the future'
'I’m not sure if Development still working on Drawing Extractions or how much time they are dedicating to it'
If I'm going to be forced down a path I don't want to go, can we at least have some time line as to when DEM will be phased out?
Thanks,
Would you not - BY DEFAULT - want to place everythign coincident? everthing is relational to begin with and should start that way. For Model references or section/plans in a drawing view I would assume coincident.
Now when placing on a sheet I would always place by saved view.

You could also work in hte Drawing View with the reference active and avoid the DWM calcs.
Michael,
Sure, but not all drawings that you have to deal with are going to be produced using the Callout marker tool. It seems like a minor (well intentioned) decision by the programmer that has disproportionate consequences.
Used all the options.... couldn't get it to work like DEM. Would be great to have an option to mimic the DEM behaviour.
Dominic,
yeah I know what you mean, but isn't the 'display sheet annotations' (aka hyper-model button) made for this purpose (when you hover over the 'callout markers' ?
Short question: did you use the 'coincident world' option when referencing?
I must say though that I've also had some problems, especially when the clip volume of a DV is changed, then the saved view on an existing drawing gets moved, and the 'coincident-button' doesn't seem to hold its promise...
Doesn't work. Mstn re-centres and rotates the cut to be orthogonal to the sheet model.
Make a 3d cube to represent a building positioned within a cadastre coordinate system. Make DV cut. Reference the DV 2d cut drawing model back into the 3d model.
They don't align.
