section Viewport from a viewport

[Klaus Koch]

If I create a section Viewport from a viewport in a layout layer in VW2016 and change the settings (Length Range / Depth Range), I have the same settings as the default.

In 2017 I have to reset the settings every time again because it always chooses the program default.

How can I change this default setting in VW 2017?

By "Layout layer" do you mean Sheet Layer? And please reply back with the exact steps you use normally to do this, including clicks and menu items.

Hi Jim,
Yes sorry, I mean a sheet layer.
Here are my steps:
1- I select a sheet layer viewport
2- I go to View -> create section viewport
3- I draw the line for the section
4- In the “section viewport dialog” I make my selections (-> screenshot)
In the 2016 version the next creation of a section viewport will show the last settings I did in the Advanced Section Properties.
In 2017 always appears the default settings.
Thanks
Klaus

I have a question about creating a section viewport and I get this message. Its from a new interior elevation viewport. I get this error message. Do these not support a section viewport??
