ACADuser Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 OK 5 day count down to vacation & I'll get out of your hair for two weeks Two questions: Attached is an elevation with the window labels turned on, some in mulled units. The labels are obscured by the mullions, any cure for that? Do i have to drag then all out of the windows? Not much room to work with. Question 2: I am using the elevations @ 1/4 scale with text created in the elevation & send to layout for standard elevation views. I am also using the elevation with a different layer set to turn off the text & turn on the window & door labels & send to another layout 1/8 scale on my schedule layout page. Is this the proper way to separate the elevations? Meaning use a second layer set. Or should I have created another elevation view with a second camera & also a second layer set. The only way to update the layout view is to close the elevation, right. I know that is a third question. So I open the elevation camera, set my layer set & close it to update the layout? But this doesn't work, the labels disappeared. I'm confused as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 In the Window Label Style uncheck Transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACADuser Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Found it, Thanks What about separate elevation layout views? One with labels on & one with labels off. Do i need another camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACADuser Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 No, just send with a different Layer Set. Tried that but when I had to make a change to one view & tried to update they both changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 It's a matter of knowing what you are doing. Each Layout Box has a Layer Set. If both are using the same Layer Set then that's what you get. You can select one of the Layout boxes and assign a different Layer Set. The other way to handle this is to "Copy the Layer Set" when sending to Layout. That will insure the Layout Box has a unique Layer Set of its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 This would be I first one. Thank you Scott! And one more point because I am in a giving mood. Guess who I get to visit Saturday? Yes, that is correct, Jim "I Fought the Lawes" Lawes. He is going to take us golfing up in Michigan. I am so excited. Now if Jim was going to take us out for two days, I just might give you two points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I created a separate layer set for each condition & the two have the proper layer set but when I regen while closing the elevation view it generates twice & both layouts are the same.

It appears as though creating the layout view with a copy of the layer is the only way I could get it to work. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
