lolo66 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I am trying to use custom selection in order to update all my viewports at the same time (i've read about this tool from a blog online) So i've gone to Tools- Custom Selection and selected 'Create VectorScript' and then clicked criteria. But when I click the dropdown to choose 'Type,' it doesn't allow to to select it. I want to enter 'Type is Viewport Sheet Layer.' Does anyone know why the 'type' option is greyed out and not allowing me to choose it? Many thanks! Lois Quote Link to comment

The Type field will only show object types that currently exist in a file. So for instance if you add a Rectangle somewhere in that file, then you should be able to choose Type > Is > Rectangle but other items will not appear in the list. Quote Link to comment

As for all update all, I use View > "Update All Viewports" And have this set to a SHIFT+CMD+U shortcut. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The easiest way to select some, but not all, of the outdated viewports and update them is on the Viewports tab of the Navigation Palette. Unfortunately its not the most intuitive because there's not a column showing the sheet number they are on. Kevin 1 Quote Link to comment
