Traditionally our office continues to use PMK files to import views into Plotmaker, never having found BG Archicad very satisfactory.
However, I was recently at a seminar where the ease of creating views in Navigator was demonstrated, and importing these views into Plotmaker directly from a PLN file.
When I try this, I find that, although my view was created when 'zoomed in' to part of a drawing, when I import the view, the 'zoom' is lost and I get the whole of the drawing (just as if I had stored it as a PMK).
Is there a way to overcome this? (I thought that it wasn't happening during the demonstration). It seems to defeat the benefit of the stored view, and I find it takes a huge amount of time to crop and move the view into position.
Also, when I've dragged a view, and 'clicked' to place it - it still moves! (maybe because I 'clicked' when it was still regenerating). This is also very annoying. Would it not be possible to allow placement to occur before the regen is completed?
