I am attempting to used a synchronized saved view to control the files being referenced to my sheets, Here is my work flow:
My goal is to be able to only have one file that controls all of the Aesthetic setting for the plan set. Can someone please direct me or provide some links on how to best do this? What is the proper procedure for updating a saved view within the master file? I want to lock the saved view at X: 0 Y:0 Rotation: 0 but it seems like whenever I come back to the sheet files the reference and/or its boundary has been altered. If I make level changes in the master and then overwrite the saved view sheet file is always altered away from 0,0,0.
Thanks,
Matt Spencer

We already have a very extensive DGNLib we have created as well as seed files containing our settings for the project. The issue is that I want to be able to synchronize our sheets and our design. We receive very frequent requests from clients to make aesthetic changes such as to turn off a certain level in all of the sheets or to make one level a thick purple line. A lot of times these changes may be temporary, or the changes will only be for one sheet set only. EX: Client is not sure what color scheme they want for a sheet set with 20 sheets. They want to try 3 options for a level color 1- Purple 2- Black 3- Red Since we are using print organizer to control our printing, I should be able to just go and change the one levels color with an override in the design master file and update the saved view. Then reprint the pdf with print organizer repeating three times. The system is already in place, but I can't figure out why the synchronized references will not maintain a set x, y, theta and clip boundary between updates to a saved view.
I can post an example DGN if what I am saying is unclear.
This is an excerpt of the documentation I prepared for my organization's use on the type of sheet setup you describe:
If you later update the saved view to make changes, be sure the "update camera position" checkbox is NOT checked to avoid causing coordinate/viewport shifts in your sheet
Here's a video about it, maybe a bit dated on the procedure:
When I use saved views as a ref attachment I dont get the option for world coincident its free floating at the cursor... any one else ?
how can I bring this back anyone?
