How do You Unlink an Image/Item Sent to Layout?

[Drew-PRH]

Good day all,

 

Is there a way to 'unlink' an item sent to Layout?

 

I would like to unlink a 'to scale' deck framing image on layout page, and now add the surface material to it as an additional item sent to layout.

 

When I add the surface material in Plan View, it automatically adds it to the deck framing on Layout.  Even if I uncheck "Linked Saved Plan View".

 

I would prefer to keep both 'to scale'.

 

This happens to be done in X15.

 

I suppose I could do as image and try to get to scale. Hmmmm

 

Thanks for the help!

It sounds like all you need is two different views on your layout, one showing the deck framing and the other showing the finished deck.  All you really need to do is setup two different layers sets that show exactly what you want for each view and then make sure the layout boxes are using the layer set you want.  Just unlinking it from the saved plan view doesn't really change what the layout box shows, it just prevents the layout box from changing if you change any the settings for the saved plan view.  It's the layer set that controls what displays in the view.

 

Chief has a bunch of tech articles and training videos about layers, layer sets and using saved plan views.  Might be a good time to start digging into this some more.

Of Course!!!

 

That was the one thing I was missing in my searches - A NEW LAYER SET

 

Worked Great!!  Thanks again
