Copy filter graphic override from one view template to another.
Copy filter graphic override from one view template to another.
If you have filters setup with graphic overrides in one view template, You could easily copy and paste the rule and overrides into another already created view template, Instead of applying a filter rule and setting the graphic overrides again.
View Filter Manager add-in available at App Store can do it.
The app contains many features for managing filters, views, view templates ( e.g. purge unused filters and view templates, copy filter overrides, etc.) and transfer project standards.
It can transfer selected items like fill patterns, line patterns, filters and view templates between multiple projects at a time, it also takes care of new filters and view templates during transfer process - it can copy elements, replace old elements or just overwrite them, making the whole transfer process of updating files very easy.
Reuse view filter rules in schedules is also possible.

It would be good to have the graphic override in the same place as the filter rules, under View -> Filters. With the option to override the graphic override in a view template if required.
The alternative workflow is to place all filter rules and graphic overrides in one "Master View Template", then apply all the filters to all view templates, then selectively Enable / Disable the filters as required.
We are lucky enough to have a software dev team have developed a 3rd part tool to manage this procedure. But it really should be an out the box tool to be able to manage the handling if filters and their overrides across multiple view templates.
Having a distinct template library for filter would be epic for transfert filters to new views that have different settings. Say I have a whole filter set up just for managing and view fire ratings in my model. If I want a new view I would have to put the template on, remove it, adjust, create a new template... but what if I want a template I have to have the 10 filters in my fire rating ctrl view to have those filters... there is no way to easily add them. you have to reasign them one by one....
It would be quicker to be able to copy a view filter with all of its override settings to another view template instead of having to add the filter and re-apply all the overrides manually.
The way I'd do it is to have a master Filter list which are the defaults. As you add those filters to view templates, they come in with the defaults such as color, patterns and etc. Create another toggle button, like the one they added for "Enable Filter," so you can choose to use the default or switch it off. When it's switched off, you can choose different options.
I would appreciate if filter have their own graphic override assigned (in the same window you create or edit filter), but also to manually override a filter in the Filter tab of Visibility/Graphic as we do now.
So you can create filter that apply the same properties in all the views without manually editing it, but also have the option to let it be "default per view/element property"
