Deleting Design Option Deletes Legend View

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am trying to delete unused design options from my model. I understand that views can be associated with design options through the 'Visibility in Option' graphics parameter, and when that is the case, they cannot be unchecked when the 'Delete Dedicated Option Views" dialogue appears, and will be deleted from the project when the associated design option is deleted unless the parameter is changed. My problem is that somehow I have a Legend View associated with a design option (maybe it was created while the design option was active?) and there is no 'Visibility in Option' parameter for the Legend view. So I cannot change the parameter, and I can't uncheck the view in the "Delete Dedicated Option Views" box. How can I delete this option without deleting my legend? See below for limited graphics parameters for the legend view.

If all else fail, copy paste content to a new legend view.

I think "Duplicate with detailing" will be the least painful action in this case. It helped me:

Access this dialog box through your View Template.  Toggle it from and back to Automatic.  

 

...or try setting it to your Primary DO.
