when I am creating view map folders I can't do it the way i used to before.
I must be missing something. I need the folder to have view settings when I right click on it and to have the icon that appears to the left of the folder. ( see the attached pic please).
Yes, this changed at some point. In the View Map pane, select the Clone a Folder... icon (just above View Properties, 4th from left). A dialog box will appear that allows you to choose which type of Project Map Folder to clone. (Same work flow in AC20.)
