Surely I am missing a simple toggle, also missing some deadlines.

Under View > On-Screen View Options, make sure "Master Items on Layout" is on.

Just like to say that I never noticed that that option was there.

Also- do you guys put your Title block info on title block layers?
Do you put it on the ArchiCAD Layer?
I find that while mine are on "Title Block DATA" & "Title Block Lines" layers they are often getting turned off and lost and I have to deal with everyone wondering where the info has gone eveytime they go to a layout and the info is not showing- regardless how many times I give them the same answer- which is turn on the layer!

In a large office environment, it may be easier to keep most of your master layout info on the ArchiCAD layer, but it doesn't really matter as long as people are aware that there are different settings for the Layouting Environment vs. Modeling Environment. I listed them last year here.

In fact it is often overlooked that we can utilize layer combinations in the layouting environment. We've actually been able to do it since the old PlotMaker days. I regularly set up layer combinations in my client's templates to show different master layout data such as watermarks, notes, stamps, even entire titleblocks. Maybe it would work for you too - as long as people knew about it!
