Chief X10 Saved Plan Views

[McCabeDesign]

Hi, I would so appreciate some feedback on saved plan views for Chief X10. When I change one saved plan view the changes are made to other saved plan views even though I switch from one set (both plan view and layout) to other. When I right click on a saved plan view - I don't have an edit option so I can't select never save (to other plan views) as older versions have. When I send a plan view to layout, I also don't have an unlink option. Finally, when I open Layer Sets, Display Options - the box modify all layer sets is unchecked. Please help!

The first thing I did was to open the "Help Files" and did a search for "Plan files" (when version X10 aka version 20 was new, I never used that feature. I do use it frequently in X13 and X14. I recommend that you find and re-read that section to familiarize how it is designed to work and not work. 

 

Actually, until your post I had not known that X10 had that feature, I may not be alone in that.

With nothing to go on....posted plan etc..... Just a stab in the X10 dark. Open edit saved plan view and in general lock your saved view to the relevant floor.

Also check the Selected Defaults and Reference Display Tabs to fine tune.

I’m guessing this is because you are making changes in a layer set or default set that is shared with other saved plan views. 
 

Make sure you create unique default sets and layer sets for each saved plan view.

 

I wish there was an option to make this automatic, so that when you create a new saved plan view it automatically attaches that name as a prefix for each default set, layer set and cad layer.

This sounds like the Issue to me as well , each SVP , should have a dedicated Default Set (Annotation), Layerset etc along with dedicated CAD Layers, text etc etc.  so making a change in 1 SVP does not effect the look of other SVP by accident. Takes a bit to setup 1st time but well worth it , if you aren't the type to be constantly checking "Active Defaults" before doing ANYTHING .......

 

* I'd also like the New SVP to Auto renaming/create those new Settings for each default set, layer set and cad layer.
