X10 And Plan Templates Using Plan Views

[HumbleChief]

...was wondering if the X10 gurus have their plan templates set up with the new plan views in separate tabs? Or what the best practice might be for using that new 'plan view' tool?

Hi Larry,

 

From your Plan view in Layout, open the View - then "Save Plan View As" to create a new named Plan View. 

 

That will save all the current settings.  In the future, you can open the Layout box and select any "Saved Plan View" from the dropdown.  If you have an open "Saved Plan View" that you send to Layout the Layout Box will remember where it came from and open that view in the Plan.

 

Note that any and all display settings in a "Saved Plan View" will automatically be reflected in the Layout.

Does that "saved plan view" save the layer settings at that instance as well, so that even if you subsequently change layer settings the "saved plan view" will not change as a result?

In other words if you subsequently turn of a particular layer, say, room labels, this will not turn off the room labels in the "saved plan view".

Otherwise I dont see the benefit.

I'm sure I'm totally missing something but it's not clear from the videos...
