Camera and callout display in plan views: how best to control? Is it layers?

[GeneDavis]

I want to display section view and wall elevation cameras in plan view as callouts with the arrows, but only want the cameras to be viewed ON in specified plan views.  The K&B plan view gets the view callouts shown there but in no other plan views.

 

The exterior wall elevation cameras only are seen in the plan view for dimensioned floors.  Etc.

 

How is this best done?  

 

I have my K&B camera callouts set with manually-entered text inside the callout circle, K1, K2, etc.  I tried setting a new layer called Cameras, K&B Sections and Wall Views, but when I turn off that layer, the circles with arrows remain, but the text inside is not visible.  What is best practice here for doing what I want.

why do you do this, vs inside the dialog ?

 

I enter the K1, K2 etc in the dialog and then just use the layer to control

Here is a zoomed in view of a kitchen plan view, and you see six cameras.  K1 and K2 are wall elevation cameras, and the four marked "I1, . . . " are each backclipped elevation/section views.  All were specified in their dialogs as "display as callout" and I entered the labeling, K1, I2, . . . 

 

 

I set up a new layer titled "Cameras, K&B section views and wall elevations" and opened each of these six cameras for spec, and changed the layer to this new layer.

 

I then changed just one of the wall cameras (K1) and one of the backclipped section cameras (I1) to be on this new layer.  Then I turned off display of the layer.  Here is what I got.

 

 

As is seen, the labels are not displayed, but the callout circles with arrows are still there.

 

In the bathroom area of this plan, I have two wall elevations taken.  See the pic here.  B1 and B2.

 

 

These two are on layer, Cameras, Wall Elevations" which is where Chief X17 OOB puts them.  Both cameras were specified by me, same as in kitchen, as "display as callout" and "include arrow," plus the labeling was keyed in by me and not macro auto gen.

 

When I go to the ALDO and turn off "cameras, wall elevations" both these turn off, as one would expect, plus any wall cameras shown.  I have the two wall cameras in the kitchen for the cab runs along walls, but (so far) have put those in a different layer, and am getting the squirrely behavior discussed above in this post.

 

What is going on here?  It seems that when I re-layer a camera, as was done for the K1 wall cam and the I1 backclipped section, the layer control only works for the label INSIDE the callout.

 

For doing layout con docs, I want the exterior elevation cams to only appear on my floor 1 dimensioned and annotated floor plan (SPV), and the K&B cams to only appear on my K&B floor plans floor by floor, I want some structural backclipped section view cams to only appear on an S plan view, etc., etc.  Thus there's a need to place certain cameras on certain layers for display control.

Can you post the plan?  Even a stripped down version?
