Graphic Override Effecting Layout Sheets

Graphic Override Effecting Layout Sheets in a TeamShare Model

I don't remember coming across this problem before but all my Layout Sheets are being effected by the last Graphic Override (GO) I created.

I can't change GO in the Layout Sheets as it is grayed out. If I go to the 2d Floor Plan I can change the GO but when I go back to a Layout Sheet the GO is still on. Bit of a loss what to do

Any ideas?

You mean all elements (drawings, title block, lines) or just drawings?
The Layout book only allow for Layer Combo, Pen Set and Zoom for View Options.

View Title, Master Layout Items pretty much everything except the contents of the Views.

As there is no access to the Graphic Overrides either along the bottom of the Layout Window or from the menu command I can't switch it to no override

This is weird... Did you try an "Open and Repair"?

And to my knowledge, you can't do GO on the Layout Book. Its always greyed and N/A.
What does the GO you created do?

So I tried deleting the offending Graphic Override, which fixed the Layouts getting messed up. I then reimported the GO at which ArchiCAD said it "couldn't import because some cells were not completed"

So seems like the GO is messing up ArchiCAD. Bit of a pain as it it quite a complex GO

Thanks for that those issues are very similar. I've just read through all the fixed issues for the latest update to ArchiCAD 23 and I didn't see it as one of the fixed items. I will install the update anyway and just hope it helps
