swithhing views in plot maker

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Feb 2006 02:32:36 GMT

Is there a method for switching an existing view imported in plotmaker to a different plan in Achicad?

For instance, I have a plan (xxschem 1 first floor) that was imported to plotmaker and would like to switch the view to (xxscheme 2 first floor) The scheme files are separate archicad plans.

Thanks,

Mark Hendricks

In Drawing usage, highlight the existing one, choose Link to button, show the different plan that you want instead of the one you have.

Done.

I could actually do the test myself (Lazy), but will this change each and all references to the view on all sheets? Which may not be desired.

If you have placed the same view on multiple sheets, you have burned yourself....

I do it all the time, only changes the one highlighted (or is that just different view within same PLN? I will have to check).

EDIT: Made a copy of a layout with plans in it, went to new layout, Drawing usage, selected plan view in list, "Link(ed) to" another PLN file, only changed the one I selected. Original layout still contained correct plan view.

I have to look back and think about it.....

Actually My "multiply views are often only for printing different sheet sizes with different masters. Or in the case of my project North arrow that comes from AC object and view, it is placed many times (mostly in the different master layouts). Also I have a Square footage Schedule from AC that is link to different sheets.

I guess that question was academic.
