Filter for working-auxiliary Sections

Anonymous — Fri, 08 Jul 2016 17:02:39 GMT

Hello. How do we set a filter so some auxiliary sections used only for working or draft are not seen in the published or printed plans?

Thanks

Create a type of section (duplicating an existing section type). Include the word "Working" in the name of the type.
In the filter dialog box, create a new filter, such as "Ref. Symbols - Working" ; Categories = Sections ; Filter by = Family and Type ; contains = "Working".
Add the filter to a view, and turn the filter off.

I'm a bit confused.

Since I never add my "working" Views to Sheets, they never get into the printed drawing sets anyway.

And you can't have one View inside another View, so I don't understand the idea of using a View Filter to filter out views from a view.

The purpose of the filter is to hide any "Working" section from the view. The reference symbols that correspond to the working sections.

Maybe he means the section/elevation tags on floor plans. If that is the case, so a View Filter would work. If those views are not placed on Sheet, then simply check Hide Unreferenced View Tag in plot settings.

It worked with Filter by_View Name_Contains_Working.

Thanks!

this breaks projects. this finds the same view family type elsewhere and hides other sections, elevation and callouts in the view.

You should work on a real project as you will find real practical concerns. Autodesk needs to think about adding a type filter for views and then this will work.
