2026 viewbase not updating

Tim_M_Combs — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 14:54:19 GMT

I draw mostly in 3D. This latest version of AutoCAD is driving me crazy. I can create viewbases, sections, details, but once created I cannot update them. It does not matter what drawing. I start a drawing from scratch (acad.dwt) with a couple simple 3d objects (cylinder, box, sphere). I grab a couple objects, start viewbase and can create the base view, sections and details. I can even change the scale and the visual style on the views. When I try to add or subtract objects to the base view it does not update any current view. But if I create a new section or projected view that new object will show up even though it does not show in the base view. If I move the section line, the section view does not update. Did AutoCAD add some setting to mess with me? I reset AutoCAD to the default, got rid of my profile. Uninstalled and reinstalled autoCAD. Updated the graphics card.

I'm using a Dell Precision 3680 desktop with a Nvidia RTX 4500 Ada graphics card. The machine is only a few months old.

I have never seen anything like this. I'm at a loss and ready to kick AutoCAD to the trash can!

Do you have the same exact problem if you install and use AutoCAD2025? It is fully updated, 2026 is not yet.

I just went back to 2025 and it seems to be operating fine, though the drawings I did use 2026 on I am now unable to create new viewbases. All of the current views I cannot edit, and anytime I try to create a new viewbase I get the message "Unable to perform the requested action. This drawing was last edited with model documentation in a newer version of AutoCAD." So I now have a handful of drawings with multiple layouts in each that I need to recreate. This is creating havoc with trying to keep my billable hours down on a couple of jobs. I tried using El-Shawadify's VBUP lisp routine, and that doesn't do anything. I've tried auditing the files.

If 2026 is not fully updated, then why release it? AutoDesk is really annoying me lately.

Same issue here. Seems like AutoCAD 2026 is unfit for production, as this basic functionality is not working.

Hopefully Autodesk will release a patch soon.

Still broken in AutoCAD 2026.1 unfortunately.

Thanks for the update. Saves me from trying again! Sticking with 2025 for now and not having any issues. By the time they get it fixed in 2026 they'll probably have 2027 out and have even more issues...🙄

I updated to 2026.1 today and still have the same problem. Also, I can't work on drawings made from previous releases as any changes made in model space won't update in the viewbase's.

I had this exact same issue on a new machine. I downloaded and installed Inventor Interoperability 2026 and the issue was fixed.

I’ve been following updates on this issue and noticed similar delays recently. For anyone trying to verify property details, the Denver property data can be really helpful to cross-check information. It’s saved me a lot of time when tracking changes. Hopefully, the system will reflect updates more consistently soon.

It can be frustrating when updates seem stalled, especially when accurate data is essential for planning. For those trying to stay on top of local real estate trends, tools like Erie property values can offer useful insights and reference points. Keeping track of these updates regularly ensures you don’t miss critical changes. Hopefully, the viewbase issue gets resolved soon so everyone can access the latest information effortlessly.

I’ve noticed similar issues with the 2026 viewbase not refreshing properly, which can be frustrating when trying to track updates. For anyone needing detailed insight, the Sonoma court records provide a reliable way to check recent filings and case statuses. It’s helpful to cross-reference these records while waiting for the viewbase to sync, ensuring nothing important is missed. Hopefully, a patch or update resolves this soon.

Wow, that sounds incredibly frustrating! I’ve run into similar issues when trying to update complex models, and sometimes it’s the software settings rather than the drawing itself causing the problem. You might find it helpful to check resources like Columbiana Parcel Search for tips on tracking updates and verifying details, which can sometimes give insight into managing system behaviors. It’s amazing how much small tweaks can fix these kinds of stubborn glitches. Hope you get it working smoothly soon!
