lex.gernon Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hi everyone I just upgraded form 2014 (educational) to 2017 (standard license) In 2014 I was able to view layers of multiple scale sizes at the same time when I was working in 2D space. I can't do that in 2017 and am wondering if there is a setting I am missing to make that possible. Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Turn off Unified View. (View > Unified View or there is also a short cut in the header bar.) Or there is also an option in Unified View (double click the icon in the header bar) and you can untick the option for Ignore Layers with Different Scale 1 Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The question was answered, so just an annotation. Showing different Design Layers in different Scales is an outdated workflow. It was necessary when you worked 2D only had to print from Design Layers. Nowadays you would print from Sheet Layers. The modern way to go for different Scales would be to create Viewports on Design Layers. In Theory. In practice VW is not yet optimized to draw on Design Layers in 1:1 scale and do all scaling on Sheet Layers only. But @lex.gernoncould you elaborate why and in which way you use layers of multiple scale sizes at the same time. Quote Link to comment
Lauren Roman Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 THANK YOU!!! I have been using VW since 2002, and utilizing a version last updated in 2008. I just purchase 2018 and was stumped as to why I couldn't get this working and desperate as I am on a deadline. This was so helpful!!! Quote Link to comment
