window transparency trouble

Anonymous
Not applicable
AC10> window transparency setting will not stay in the <off> setting.

i rebuild the model and the setting change shows up. i open view settings and click OK. i toggle between one elevation view and the one just reset, and it has reverted to the <on> setting.

a few days ago, i changed this setting in another set of elevation views for the same elevations. no problems there; the <off> setting remains.

any help would be appreciated.

As far as I know, AC 10 viewsets cannot save "Transparency settings" you need to recreate the viewset after switching on/off this setting.

That's right, it was a bug in AC10. Now in AC11 the transparency is stored with the viewpoint, which in many minds is a huge oversight. It should be stored with the view settings. This way we would be able to use the same elevation marker with and without shadows.
