Consistent X, Y and Rotation using saved views

I am attempting to used a synchronized saved view to  control the files being referenced to my sheets,  Here is my work flow:

  1. Create various Design files
  2. Create a Master File: This references all of the Design files and sets the levels display and overrides
  3. Create a Saved view in the master file
  4. Reference the Master file with live nesting synchronizing with the saved view
  5. I use presentation only and use a fence clip boundary in each sheet

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

  • This is an excerpt of the documentation I prepared for my organization's use on the type of sheet setup you describe:

    • Attach sheet-series base file
      • Synchronise with saved view ( ≥SS3, choose "all settings")
      • Live nesting depth = 1
      • Display overrides = Never
      • New level display = always
      • Global LineStyle Scale = master
      • Use Active Annotation Scale = On
      • Attach coincident
    • Clip base file using base file matchline shape,
      • SS2: Temporarily uncheck reference "synchronize with saved view" setting to clip, renenable afterwards
      • SS3 and later: Temporarily set reference synchronize mode to "presentation only" to clip, then return it to "all settings"
    • Save settings,

    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:

  • Thanks for your help.  The video you posted is exactly what I wish to create.  Here are the steps I followed:

    1. Create a design base file with several references

    2. Set the screen rotation to unrotated

    3. Created a saved view in that file

    4. Created my first sheet file

    5. Referenced the design base file

    • Live Nesting Depth 1
    • Display Overrides: Never
    • New Level Display: Always
    • Global Line Style Scale: Master
    • Synchronize View: Presentation Only

    6. Set my clip boundary

    7. Rotate my sheet to orient it properly

    8. Now that I have the sheet setup I go back to the design base file and turn off a couple random levels.

    9. Update the saved view (Update camera position unchecked)

    10. Save settings

    11. Return to the sheet file to see if the change was synced

    Here lies the problem.  Because my sheet files are not all oriented at 0 degrees as they are in the video example when the saved view is updated the reference rotation changes.  For example my first sheet requires a rotation of 179.4678° with the reference at 0° and (0,0) after updating the saved view the reference is now at 179.4678° and (40887510.9632,  43314115.2061).

    Does anyone know why the rotation, x and y will not stay at 0,0,0?  Also the instructions for SS3 to use Presentation only, clip boundary, and then switch to All settings does not work.
