layout master disappearing

Do you mean, the master layout items disappear from the layout? (I.e., while you are viewing a conventional layout) If so, I have seen this issue. I found that selecting a different master and switching it back would restore order. I haven't seen dropped master items in output.

HTH,

People tend to forget to use layer combos within the layouting environment too. Combos that can switch out titleblock information, stamps, notes, even entire titleblocks.
link, i think that whilst this may have been true of plotmaker, the combined model/layout layer set in AC10 is no longer conducive to working efficiently with layer combinations in the layout book.

i would recommend sticking to the 'everything on the archicad layer' rule-of-thumb for layouting until graphisoft give layers a much needed overhaul - to make working with two distinct environments more intuitive.

I've set up about a dozen AC10 templates with layout layer combinations, and they work just like PM9.

I thought working in two different environments was quite intuitive, especially once you know the differences.

Maybe I just got lucky?

Cheers,
