Question: I can't create Cad Detail From View, What am I doing Wrong. A:

[Steve_Matlaga]

So, I had to dig a bit to find an answer to a very basic question.   I'm not taking any credit for the answer, but I am thinking other newer or even old users may not know the answer.

 

IF you see the CAD Detail from Drawing option greyed out in the menu, it's only on count that your current view IS NOT set to VECTOR.

Set the elevation/cross section/back section view to the VECTOR style.    

 

THEN you will regain your ability to create a CAD DETAIL!   

 

Don't worry, once the cad detail has been created, you can go back and switch your style back to whatever you want in the original camera view. 

 

 

Me thinking aloud: Why not just make that 'switch' of styles behind the scene, or make a note write on the menu bar that indicates why it's greyed out?  
Frustrating when the problem is an enigma with no reasoning.   X15 I was hoping this was fixed or addressed.
