Change marker visibility by views?

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 21:21:49 GMT

Hello,

I started to use change/revision management and I'd like to know if it's possible to "filter" changement marker to show/hide on some view only for a same floor plan.

Let's say I have one floor plan and 2 views of this floor. View1 is for plumbing details and view2 for electrical plan detail.
I make a change and place a changement marker (cloud) on the electrical plan view.
Is it possible to make this marker visible only on the electrical plan view and not on the plumbing view?

In case it's not clear I'm attaching an images trying to explain what I've described above
I'd like change marker1 to be visible only on Plumbing view and change marker2 visible only on Electrical plan view.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'm using AC20.

Change Markers do not have any setting that would make this possible. You need to use a way or a settings that can be view-specific.
I think you need to use Layers to do it. Place various Changes on various Layers and create Layer Combinations which would display them in the desired Views only.

Thanks Laszlo for the advice.
This is what I was thinking about but I was wondering if there was a feature I didn't know.
I'll then create layers such as Mark-Change-Plumbing, Mark-Change-Electrical for example.
Thanks

If the change only applies to a single layout have you considered applying the change marker to the layout rather than the view?

It seems a good idea but I'm not sure to understand how I can apply a change marker to a Layout

Simply go the the layout and use the change tool to draw a cloud round the altered area. The change, if it is new, will then be added to the layout revisions the same as if you added it to a view.

As long as your displayed views don't move about you should be ok but the change cloud and model aren't linked so if the part of the model you are displaying shifts, the cloud will unfortunately stay in it's original place on the layout sheet.
