Is there a way to link worksets to views in Revit?

[mpodolan]

hey all, 

new to Revit....

i would like to make is easier for me to use and others when forgetting to pick the correct work set for view ports. 

is there any way I could assign a work set per design view.  

picture below for example: 

looking so when the view unit a - electrical is chosen, the work set automatically gets set to electrical suites.   

usually its something random and changing it gets forgotten

thanks in advance!

That's not really what worksets are intended to be for - they are intended to allow multiple users to work on the same model without inadvertantly affecting each other's work.

They should really be assigned by discipline or sub-discipline or building zone etc.

The user would then book out the workset that they are working on to limit access by other users and they would set the current workset as the one that they are working in.

PS: each view is assigned to its own workset:

But that is to limit users from changing view settings, visibility graphics etc and you can't select it as the working workset for elements.

You also need to think in terms of 3D modelling rather than individual "drawings" or "viewports". Every element in the model technically exists in every view and you only limit the element visibility by the various methods available.
