BTW, I've just noticed that view-specific model & datum element overrides ARE kept when you Duplicate with Detailing (but overrides to Detail Components are NOT). Like many things in Revit, behavior is not consistent (or clearly documented within the user interface). So if you REALLY want to duplicate a detail with all annotation elements (but no overrides), you need to use the regular "Duplicate", then manually copy all the elements over.
TIP: If you want to duplicate a "Detail View" with all Linework & Overrides, first change it to a "Section" (to enable "Duplicate as a Dependent").
@Anonymous I sincerely do NOT want to start a semantics-based flame war on the definition of "detailing"
, so instead I'll agree to disagree, but I would like to explain why "Duplicate with detailing is [NOT] very clear in what it does":
"Duplicate as a Dependent" is pretty obvious, so we can leave that alone.
However, the other two seem to imply the following:
"Duplicate": make a "clean" copy (as if it was just created with all the same properties)
"Duplicate with Detailing": make an exact copy (WITH all the changes that were made to the view)
In other words, duplicate the view with and without all the "stuff" you added to it after it was cut. However, "Duplicate with Detailing" has instead been coded to mean "Duplicate with Everything except Linework & DC Overrides" (Annotation Symbols, Detail Components, Detail Lines, Text, Dimensions, etc. and exclude SOME other additions/changes to the view. I think it should be renamed to "Duplicate with Added Elements" to make it more clear to the user since it appears to be desired to be kept as is, but a "Duplicate Exactly" option (as you suggested) should also be added (per this wish).
It's not at all obvious to me (and most users, I would think) that if you want to "Duplicate Exactly" that you should first change the "Detail View" into a "Section" (if needed; you're SOL if you want to duplicate a Drafting View exactly), choose the "Duplicate as a Dependent" option, then choose "Convert to independent view", then change the "Section" back into a "Detail View" (if needed).
