I would like the Starting View button on the Manage tab to BY DEFAULT open the actual view so that users can sync with central faster. We instruct all users to have only the Starting View open during STC and Plotting so that view generation is not an issue. There can be a drop down under it to change the default view. The real fix would actually be this:
Why Revit by default doesn't just do the best case scenario: When STC or Print is executed: Database writes all open views to a temporary list, closes all these views, opens only the startup view (or nothing!?), STC or Prints, then reopens all the views the user previously had open.
