Global Display / View Display

I don't know if some setting has changed in the past few weeks, but my global and view display is not working properly.  When selecting the global display from the View Display dialog, shouldn't the selected levels turn on/off in all the open views?  Something is preventing some levels to display.  I either have to double-click each level to turn it on ( making it the Active Level ) or if the levels are on in another view I can copy that view.  Either way, the dialog box is not working as it used to.  Any suggestions?  Thx for you time.

  • Sounds like you toggled the Global Freeze on for the level(s) that will not display when you turn on/off the Global Display. If Frozen the level will not display if you turn on the Global Display

  • At the top of the Level Display dialog is a little drop down button. Normally this would be set to View Display. You can change it to be Global Display or Global Freeze. Be sure you have that set correctly according to what function you want. View Display will change the level state in the Active View (or another that you can specify). Global Display & Global Freeze will change the level states of the levels in the entire file (all views). I have a lot of users that are not aware that you can change the settings of the View Display dialog in this manner. I however, use the View Display dialog, switching the settings, rather than switching between Level Display & Level Manager. The only time I use LM is when I want to modify the bylevel or override settings.

  • Yes, the drop-down button is set to Global Display. There are no levels frozen ( or if they were, they've been unfrozen ). When I click on a level, it should turn on/off in all the views, but it only happens in view 1. View 5 does not change. The only way to get levels that are off in view 5 that are on in view 1, is to double-click the level(s) to make it the active level...then they appear in view 5.
  • Can you post a sample file so we may investigate? I've seen this in the past but, I have not run into it in a long time. Even when I've experienced the problem it was very rare.
