When working on a plan with multiple worksets it would be beneficial to have the ability to lock a component (pipe, mechanical unit, device, etc...) to a specific workset, regardless of the workset that is currently active. So when a component needs to be copy/pasted it maintains the workset it was originally assigned instead of assuming the workset that is currently active.

 

For example:

 

I'm working on an overall plumbing floor plan for the first floor of a three-story condo with four unit types and 3 or 4 units of each type. For whatever reason the client wants the risers, drains, etc... all shown separately so we set up several worksets; PL-OVERALL, PL-RISER, PL-ENLARGED, PL-SAN, PL-VENT. Within each individual unit all worksets will be represented. When we're drawing, for example, the riser for the water closet, it will have components that fall under the PL-RISER, PL-ENLARGED, PL-SAN, and PL-VENT worksets. Once it's drawn it doesn't make sense to redraw it three or four more times so, naturally, we copy and paste where needed. Each component of the original maintains the correct worksets while the components of the copy are all switched over to whatever workset is currently active. Now I have to go back, select each component, and manually change their workset. 

 

This wouldn't happen, and would save a ton of time, if we could just lock components into specific worksets.
