Trying to associate a saved model view with a section object is not possible in the selection of saved view

settings. It is always <None>. But it should, according to:

Hi,

You can get it as shown in below image...

[varg.zaugg]

Please read my post. 

No, I can't get it selected. This is why my post exists here and shows at the second screenshot, that it doesn't work.

Has anyone an idea why it doesn't work?

@varg.zaugg 

Did you click OK?

[paullimapa]

could you share this drawing here with this problem?

[imadHabash]

If you get back to the link in your Original Post, you will find that all of your need exists in the first dialog (view manager).

The order to create/save a view first may be crucial, sure. But it doesn't work.

What AutoCAD version are you running?

Do you have the latest updates installed?

Enter About command do a screenshot and share this here.

It tells me, this version here:

8.8.61.0 AutoCAD Architecture 2026.0.1 

By the way, I encounterd this issue on another machine with ACA 2025...

Is there maybe a system variable setting to adjust?

[paullimapa]

I’d suggest moderator to move this post to ACA forum for better feedback

In this example, I'm using ACA in paperspace. Click within a paperspace viewport and type view command. The view dialog box will appear and all options are available.

I found out the error source: It works in AutoCAD Architecture "as AutoCAD".  But NOT in Autocad Architecture.

But why not in Autocad Architecture? Probably prorifle or dwt-setting?

I still assume a system variable value......

Hello, were you able to find any resolution to this question?

Are you using tour standard office template? If you are, then try again, still using AutoCAD Architecture, but this time use an OOTB template, not one with your firm’s logo, custom blocks, and customized settings.

When creating your firm’s official template, the author might have also created specific settings (established a Profile) so your drawing, and everyone else’s, complies with the office standard. 

When using the as AutoCAD version where it works, it’s an indication you’re not using your firm’s standard (or Profile). Talk to the template’s creator to get a better understanding of your firm’s standard Profile.
