Hi all I am having a little difficulty controlling what plan views I want my section arrows to appear in. I am creating a core elevation drawing. I have called the sections off on plan and dropped the elevations onto the core elevation sheet I set up. I also want to show a key plan on this drawing. I created the key plan by creating a dependent duplicate of the foundation plan, box around just showing the core. I dropped this onto the core elevation drawing, key plan created, drawing complete. My problem now is that I have section arrows on my overall foundation drawing. Being at a different scale the arrows look awful and I don't want them there anyway. Is there a way of turning off a selection of section arrows (not them all) on a particular view? Thanks in anticipation. Jamie

Ok, I have answered my own question. Right click on object, hide in view. Forgot about that. As an extension to thsio question, instead of me having to go round every view to turn these arrows off, is there a way of showing in that view only when placing the section arrow? Jamie

Sorry, no. You can hide the category through VG and view templates.

OK, changed my mind now, it happens I guess. I want to show the section arrows I have turned off in certain views again. With there being nothing to show in that view, how do I turn it back on? Tried going to a view where it does show but can't find anything associated with it to do this. Regards, Jamie

Click on the lightbulb to show hidden elements - click on it then un-hide in view.

Maybe this idea will be of any help for you. At our company we are making dependent views of the plans. At the basic view we keep all the information visible. At the dependent view we hide the things we don't want at our plot. And in the printing commando there's an option "Hide unreferenced view tags" so any view which is not placed at a sheet will not be plotted.

I like that idea. It came to me as I was going through the process of creating dependent views for drawing sheets realsing the root view wouldn't be used as a drawing. Adopting that method from now on as a rule I think. Regards Jamie

I caution you about using dependant views. They work well for match-line plans but using them elsewhere will eventually lead to problems. Instead, learn to set up view templates to control your sheet views. I recommend that for plans, you have a layout view that is not placed on sheets and has layout dimensions and VG controlled as requird. Then use a duplicated view that has a view tempate to be placed on your sheet. BTW - Just to assure that all things are shown corectly, make sure that all of your sheets listed in the browser are collapsed so that you only see the sheets, then from the browser, highlight all the sheets and apply the default view template.

Can you give an example of things that could go wrong with dependent views? We only use them for plans and so long I haven't noticed anything strange happening.
