Check orthographic views

[alexander..sokolov]

Hello!

Please, give me an answer!

I have big model with many different pipes, equipments in one file. And I made 30 different orthographic views (isolate different part). And in the end of my work I want to check my orthographic views to be sure that orthographic views be adequate to model.

Step 1: I have to make view of my model like some orthographic view, and than click check and update on this orthographic view.

And I need make it 30 times, yes?

Is there any other way to check orthographic views?

I will be happy to get any advice to find solution of this!!!

Thanks!

You can right-click an ortho drawing in the project manager to update all of the drawing's views at once.

ОК, thank you! I attach 3 pictures, please look at them. 

PICTURE 1: iT'S MY MODEL (all layer turn on, and showing all objects in the model  - my work state)

PICTURE 2: ONE OF MY ORTOGAPHIC DRAWING (I've made it earlier)

And for example: If I work with model (all layer turn on, and showing all objects in the model  - my work state) and want to check my ortographic drawing and click on update all view, I will see next: 

PICTURE 3: MY ORTOGAPHIC DRAWING AFTER MAKE UPDATE - APPEARS MANY OBJECTS THAT I DON'T WANNA SEE!!! Therefore before make update orto drawing I have to make view of model like view of orto drawing for update!!! And if I have for example 20 orto drawing, and if I want check them, I have to 20 times make change view state of my model???? Yes? (I think it's very painful)

Thanks, Alexander Sokolov

ortho drawings use settings for layers and visibility from the actual model. Therefore a refresh in the ortho can give an unwanted result.

You could save the layer state of a model before creating the ortho and reset that when you pdate the ortho.

You can also create a blank drawing and xrefs your actual models in there, set properties for color, layer etc and use that for the ortho. This drawing wil keep its settings.
