Switching views keeps layer settings of previous view

Hi, 

 

It seems like after the last AC26 update this has been happening but when I switch between views, say from plan to section, the section, though saved with it's own layer settings is created with the floor plan layer.  This makes switching between views incredibly frustrating because I always have to reselect the view when switching between tabs to get the proper layer settings to load.

It's hurting productivity, is anyone else having this problem?

This used to happen in the Navigator list, I guess it must still be present between Tab views. I have noticed recently that it can be consistently generated by switching from Schedules to a drawing using tabs in V26 4019. I haven't had the time to report it, so hopefully someone from GS will pick up on this thread.

Yes, I also have it happen in the navigator list.

Are you double clicking when changing tabs?

yes.   it's very odd, the walls were connecting properly and then they weren't.

Also I find in V25 that the view settings display at the bottom of the view list is reliably does not list the settings correctly for the view I am clicking on.

Hi all,

This is a known bug, registered in our system under DEF-4194 - the view opens with the latest used layer combination instead of the saved one. If you encounter this issue, we kindly ask you to report it to your local support to raise its priority in our backlog.

Meanwhile, we would recommend as workaround to set the desired layer combination in the source viewpoint (project map) and then open the respective view. We apologise for the inconvenience that this issue may have caused you.

Best,

Rubia Torres
