Hm, curious.
I just tried to do it exactly as you subscribed and it worked just fine.
There was some delay after I selected the View to be placed but that was because an ARCHICAD background copy was started.
Otherwise it did it reasonably fast.
Does the little Update Palette come up at the top of your screen to indicate the update process started?
