Hi, i seem to be having some trouble working with my levels and dimensions. when i select my section views on my "proyect map tab" i cant see my levels and dimension but when i click on my "Publisher tab" they suddenly appear. This is a big problem since i cant edit them!

Thank you!

When you open things in the Project Map you must manually change the layers (layer combination).

The Publisher will open views from your Layouts and your Layouts will use drawings based on views from the View Map.
The View Map views are based on the Project Map views but have layers, pen sets, Model View Options and other settings saved with them so you don't have to manually set them.

So if you use the Project map views you must manually change layers, pen sets, MVOs, etc. yourself.
Or use the View Map views and these will change automatically.
Or in your layouts you can select the drawing and right click on it and choose "Open Source View" and this will open the view exactly as you see in on the layout.
