hey all

i have a problem with most views placed on layout and its constant updating.

when i open a layout it start updating all views and this happen twice before i can use the file.

this is happening to certain files so im assuming it has to do with work environment.

on some sheets i have like 15-18 views and this is starting to take some time since it gets updated twice in a row. 

please find attached

hey mate,

actually all drawings in this file have this issue not only interior elevations sheet, i dont mind the other sheets updating twice but the interior elevations sheet is the one that takes really long to finish updating (twice) !

not sure whats going on but for some reason all drawings get triggered to update twice every time I click on any sheet.  

Is the double updating anything to do with the Trace & Reference being turned on?

I have not noticed this but there would be twice the information to update.

trace & reference is off, and if its on it would be between storeys only . 

If it's on it won't matter where it's looking. Everything will update twice if you have trace and ref on in a layout.

trace & ref is turned off everywhere. 

this is snippet of 2 Archicad files the left is the one that having the issues.

please note that both have same hotlinks, libraries and from same template.

 

this snippet was taken literally after i refreshed and opened the drawing manager again.

the one on the left gone back to needs checking, the normal file is showing OK.

 

now this is driving me crazy lol

Interesting how a couple of details are OK.

Are the drawings linked to internal views or an external source?

They are probably internal - I am just clutching at straws now.

yeah its totally weird and its driving me nuts. 

the details are actually details markers but have the hotlink drawings in them so im assuming thats the case ?!
