Why does my pen set change when I change stories?

KCSFCA — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 22:02:28 GMT

When I switch stories - my pen set reverts to a different one than the one I was using. How do I get it to stay as is?

The other thing that happens when i switch stories is the zoom moves to a totally different area which is not on a stacked story. How do I make the zoom NOT move?

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon 15 Sequoia

How are you switching storeys?

This may affect what you are seeing.

Each view in the view map stores settings for that view.

Settings like pen set and zooming.

Set these as you want and change storeys by choosing different views.

Changing storeys in the Project Map (these are view points) will not invoke these stored settings.

You have control of what you see with the options at the bottom of the window you are viewing on screen.

Right clicking on the window tab may have different results depending on whether you opened a view point or a view.

Exactly.

Changing view points in the Project Map will not change any of your settings.

You have complete manual control of what settings are used.

Change views in the View map will invoke the settings saved with those views.

But you can still manually change the settings afterwards.

You can also set up extra views in the view map that use the settings you want.

You do not have to actually use any of these views in your layouts.

They can be what I call 'Working Views' with various layers, graphic overrides, pen set, etc., settings that will just help you create and document your model.

You will never actually place these on your layouts.
