CONNECT Edition - Where is the Place Drawing option when right-clicking over an existing Callout?


(35535 False)

Question

In a previous version of AECOsim Building Designer I was able to right-click over a Section callout, choose the "Place View" option, and then dynamically place that section view onto the current Model as a reference attachment.

But in CONNECT Edition I can no longer seem to find that Place View option in the right-click menu.  

Solution

Yes, the process has changed slightly in newer versions. 

1. Hover over the desired callout and choose the Create Drawing option.  In the subsequent Create Drawing dialog, fill in the required fields and uncheck the "Create Drawing Model" option before clicking OK.  This will only generate the Saved View definition.

2. When you hover over the callout again you will now see the Place Drawing option so that you can dynamically place the view (as a reference attachment) in the active Model.
