"View Settings" shortcut?

NateLumen

I have a number of views whose MVO settings have gone "Missing" (although they still exist). I know this has been a longstanding issue since at least Archicad 25. But now I am tasked with going through each view and relinking the MVO settings, but I can't seem to find a command to open "View Settings" in the list of possible shortcut commands (in Work Environment > Keyboard Shortcuts). If there were I would give it a shortcut to be able to quickly go through an open each views settings. Does this exist?

Sadly that's not possible. I've had the same issue recently.

Only thing that comes close is to go over all layouts, where you have the possibility for "opening source view settings" – but then on the other hand it's faster to just go through the Drawing Manager anyway (just make sure you display the MVO data in a new column).

@runxel ah, well. That's too bad.

 

When going through the drawing manager, the MVO isn't showing as missing, but it is in the view map - are you able to see missing MVOs in the drawing manager?

Ooops, I didn't test this.... My bad! It was more like wishful thinking then... 😞

Could you create a view index and change the mvo from there?

Seems to only be an issue with teamwork files.

Hi,

You can simply create a view index that will show you the missing MVO and replace them there.

I now have the issue in another TW project but your trick does not help!

Not sure why not tho. The views are missing their MVOs, but this won't show in the schedule at all. Instead it just shows the regular name of the missing MVO.

I suspect that in your case you actually renamed "10 Affichage Projet" to "10a Affichage Projet Plans", and that's why it went missing.

In my case however the MVOs aren't really missing. So e.g I do have the MVO named "10 WIP" but it stills shows as missing in the view itself, however since the name actually exists it does not show this information in the schedule contradicting the view. But that's just a guess.

In any case this is deeply broken for ages now....

Hi Runxel,

 

in the views index can you add the MVO with the "10 WIP" as a criteria ? does it the list the views ?

can you then change the MVO ?

 I suspect that MVO are compared by names, not by indexes like other attributes and that characters encoding can cause the problem.

For 3 years or more, i am facing strange issue with names, not only with Archicad. This problem occurs when transferring files from MacOs to Windows.

For example when transferring a file from MacOs to Windows via  my Google drive this end-up with 2 files with the same displayed name (the old version one not replaced with the new). I think of this characters encoding issue when transferring files in the other direction that have names containing special characters, the names were modified, each special character replaced by a sequence representing it's encoding.

Yes it shows all of them, even when it the view says its "missing".
