Flyover tool and Layers


Eric Chase

Question

Somehow I did something, and now the flyover tool will only rotate the active layer. It's not doing that on any of my other 3D drawings I have open, so it's unique to that particular file. I can't find any settings for flyover to toggle between all layers and active. 

 

I feel like this is one of those silly settings that accidentally got activated but I'm at my wits end how to correct it.

 

I appreciate your help

You need to turn Unified View back on.

 

In VW2022 and before this is in the View menu.

 

In VW2023 and later this is in Document Preferences:Legacy 2D.

If you try to turn Unified View back on in the "Legacy 2D" section of "Document Preferences", you get a message, "Are you sure you want to enable legacy features?"! Well, yes, I would like that feature, but apparently you aren't supposed to use it? How does one keep one's layers coordinated when moving around in any 3D viewing mode?

Unified View is on by default. I don't imagine many people work with it turned off these days. But the Legacy 2D settings are there if you do need it turned off. But that's why it asks 'Are you sure?'.

The ability to turn Unified View off is the legacy feature.

 

I think the warning is just there because from that screen you COULD set up the file to use legacy features. Rather than checking exactly what you changed and having a different warning for each one, I think they just put a single warning whenever you make changes.

@Tom W. If your workflow is a single Design Layer - why is Unified View needed  ?

 

We do not need / use Unified View as we draw on a single design layer. Unified View has been a major aggravation to our work flow - see attached

 

Things disappear (Text - Dimensions) / things move / renders are missing objects and / or  textures / editing some components is quite convoluted.
