Layout problems - version 11

[Barry Kelly]

Does anyone else out there add project views to their masters for layout purposes?

We have a title block that is one object but consists of various versions that we can use on any type of plan we want.
The idea is with one titleblock object we can fill in all the details necessary and update all variations of it at once.
The was created in the days before project info if anyone is wondering why we don't use that.

This title block is in its own section/elevation window and is saved as a view in the view map.
We place the view of this section/elevation into the master layout and crop it to show the type of title block information we need.
In fact we have a master layout for different page sizes with the different title blocks that we simply switch to as needed in the actual layouts.
Everything looks fine in the masters.

This has all worked perfectly up till now with the release of version 11.
It seems that in 11, the objects cropped off in the master show through into the layout when they are not supposed to (see attached image).
All that should be showing is the portion of the title block that is circled.
Other linework and text gets cropped of successfully, just objects show through regardless.
Even separate objects (not just the one title block object) show through and it doesn't matter if they are old or even new objects from the version 11 default library (the small baths you can see in the image are V11).


I know many of you out there would probably not have cropped views in your masters.
So would someone please like to try it to see if it is not just me or the Australian flavour of Archicad?

Just place a view of a plan in a master layout and crop it so that it only shows a portion (make sure the plan has objects that will be outside the cropped area).
Then create a layout that uses this master and see if the objects outside of the cropped area show through.

The odd thing is that although it looks bad on screen it seems to print as expected.

This has been reported to GS Australia and I am know waiting for them to hear back from GSHQ (might not hold my breath though ).


I know there aer work arounds (create new title blocks, use project info, add white fill to the masters) but I really don't want to go down that track.
As a building company we build over 2000 homes a year - I'd hate to think how many we actually draw.
That together with our 100's of standard designs means a lot of work to update to V11.
I am hoping this will either just be a problem with me or a simple bug fix that will be solved soon.

Excellent - thankyou Greg and GS.
Now all I need is for the REQUEST ("Zone_relations") bug to be fixed so I can et the correct zone values and I will be able to start using it.
The bug has been reported to GS Australia but too late for this hotfix .
