I've had this happen a couple times where I need to represent multiple options/variations of a certain design and the way I need to do that is to show a couple different versions of the same detail or section. I can accomplish this by setting up some dummy views off the page and then referencing a second copy of the detail onto my drawing from
the dummy version which would be set to a different model view / model state... but this presents opportunities for making mistakes, and makes me feel like I'm having a bunch of extra views that I don't get generated for nothing.
What I'd like to see to resolve this work around would be:
1. To have the ability to create multiple details/sections from the same reference source
2. Have the section/aux/detail views be able to represent different model states/view states than the base view it's attached to
3. Have all of the various copies of the detailed views / section views get their window information and labeling (eg. The detail window location and the fact that it's Detail B) remain connected to the original detail... so I don't have to go around making sure they're all still consistent/correct.
Example 1: Using a dummy view to show a different model state of a detail view
Example 2: Putting multiple sections onto the same dummy view so that I can show three view / model states of that section.
