Viewbase command to create live link between AutoCAD and Inventor (Views don't get updated)

Hi All,

 

I have a problem here using viewbase command.

When I update a view in Inventor (let's say turn the visibility of a component On->Off) and save the assembly file, the view in AutoCAD doesn't get updated. I found a way around it by toggle the views as shown in below then it gets updated!

Is there a better way of doing this?

Hello!  I can see in your image in the first post that you use AutoCAD 2024, what version of Inventor do you use?

Inventor is 2024.

Funny enough if I change the length of a section the update works but when I change alter  the View doesn't get updated!

Note for future reference, File in AutoCAD must get closed and reopen for any update.

I realized when I create different Model States the updated happens with no problem (Suppress works).

Visibility which control the View doesn't work! 

Also, I realized, if I create a new View it doesn't show up under the dropdown selection however for Model State there is no problem.

Hopefully, someone comes back with an answer.
