Different view templates / settings for Dependent Views

Different view templates / settings for Dependent Views

Applying different view templates and / or view settings to a Dependent View would make that view type a lot more useful. For example, one could have a plan view at scale 1:200 and break that plan view into a couple of Dependent Views at scale 1:50. Then use a View Template to differentiate what's visible in which view, for example.

 

The way it's done now (but maybe I'm doing it wrong) is using a Duplicate View and then copy / remove the needed annotation objects like tags, texts etc. we want to see in 1:50 but not in 1:200. And if something changes to annotation objects, one has to go through all those duplicated views as well.

I would like to be able to control different view templates in the dependant views. There are times when I need a view that may be nearly identical to one that needs similar annotations but rather than creating another view and having to maintain two views with annotations I could filter out what is needed in one vs the other or be able to tweak the views ever so slightly.

The ability to have dependant view templates where the scale is changeable would be extremely useful and efficient. It would negate the need for multiple view templates for the same types of plans, i.e. site & landscape plans, that have to be concurrently managed.
