Lock setting for veiwport Cache

[The Hamma]

I wish there was a way to permanently lock in the viewport cache of a viewport.  Many times we have interior elevations that once they are created and edited they will not change and if they do we are aware that we are editing them.   The issue is that it takes a long time to regenerate all of the interor elevation viewports which are not changing. Sometimes the link is broken and we have to recreate it.  It would be great if there were a switch to permanently lock the viewport cache even after a crash so that the viewports have no need to update unless the lock is swiched off.

Good Wish.  I support it.

 

As a works around what about using the Render Bitmap tool on those VPs to generate an image that would then not need updating?

Great suggestion, but not quite what I am lookin for, I wish that tool had a hidden line render option.

If you don't need anything in the Annotations group you can duplicate the viewport and then Convert to Group.

 

But still not exactly what you need/want.
