Is it possible to reference a file coincident and that uses the clip volume of the file being referenced.
Saved views don't seem attach coincident. Even if I move a saved view to be coincident changing the clip volume of the saved view cause it to shift and no longer be coincident.

Unknown said:How exactly did you move the saved view to be coincident?
Using XY on the attache ref dialog.
Unknown said:When you say it shifted did the view physically shift or did the display inside of the view shift?
Both. The display inside the view was intentionally expanded to include more information. This caused the reference attachment to shift and no longer be aligned with the model.
Detailed information about how saved views, dynamic views and how these attachment work is pretty limited. Lots of videos showing how magic they all are but not much about coordinate spaces and how the relate.
Here is what I'm trying to achieve. I have a 3D model with a point cloud. I need to transfer information from the cloud to a 2D drawing. Basically trace some piping in a given elevation range. I want to have a clip volume of that area referenced to my 2D drawing.
Because its a large point cloud I want to work on an area, then adjust the clip volume to enclose a new area to trace. The problem is changed the clip volume shifts the view and I'm no longer aligned with my 2D model.
I tried a standard reference attachment however when you attach to a 2D file you have no control to show a clip volume or display depth clipping.
Unknown said:Why the arrow? What do they mean?
Arrow means clip volume doesn't clip geometry or extends infinitely in that direction.
Push Pin means clip volume clips/removes geometry beyond clip.
Should be able to right click and hold over arrow/push pin and change clip per side or all.
@Tdanner, Thanks for that. I aways got push pins in the past. This is the first time I've seen arrows. Never knew there was an option.
Unknown said:These can also be preset for views in DrawingSeed.dgnlib.
That explains why I was getting arrows. My new project workset was not finding my standard DrawingSeed.dgnlib
