Dimensions synchronization between Views

[syama2001]

Hi, i need to synchronize all dimensions in my project with at least copied View (with the possibility to change Stages on each View Separately). It’s bad that in copied view you can synchronize walls and etc. but can’t synchronize dimensions. I tried to create a Dynamo script but it turned out being super complicated to make well working script. Can you please help me? Thank you

I can't set different Stages on thoese Views!

Ah, ok. Annotation is view-dependent. So text, dimensions, tags, detail items / lines etc. live in their own view. If you want them in other views as well, then you'll have to copy them. Or maybe there's a plugin that does the job.

[syama2001]

Yes, when i do this, i am not able to set separate Stages of each View. This is the problem

[syama2001]

Exactly, i would like it to be automatic. Is there any way to do it? I couldn't find any solution on Internet or ChatGPT

Why you don't use the Group and Attached Detail Groups ?

@syama2001 @you simply need to choose duplicate view with detailing. That ways you will get the dimensions and also be able to change view phase as per requirements. 

[syama2001]

Yes, but when i draw new dimension it will not appear automatically on the copied View

[syama2001]

This method looks good. But what will happen if i draw new dimension on the main View?

@syama2001 ,
If they are not dependent they cannot be syncronising. You can ad lines on the objects and create groups from them  maybe. Lines and dimensions group. Then copy to other views... Or you crets dependent view, and you keep it as dependent allways, till the last moment where you have to seperate them, you finish with dim work and seperate them..

Is there any other way to make it simple? Just synchronize dimensions between VIews with different Stages

if it is in group so you see that in another view too,but if it is not in group you don't see it in another view. this is a group ,if you change it in a view it will be changed  in all view.

[syama2001]

So to add dimensions i need to draw them in Group Editing mode?

[seydauzun]

Yes, or when you add new dimension, you add into the group

In general, repeating dimensions in different views is redundant.  In existing/demolition views are for dimensioning / locating existing elements to be demolished.  New construction views are for dimensioning / locating new elements.
