Andrew Mac Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) When creating new classes in existing files, is it possible to make sure that new class created is visible in all the existing viewports and saved views? I have to typically go back to be viewports and turn on the classes. Thought there might be a trick when creating the new class to be visible in all existing viewports or saved views Edited August 9, 2018 by Andrew Mac Quote Link to comment

Kevin Allen Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I the class creation dialog, check edit properties after creation and turn on visibilies in the visibilities tab. Quote Link to comment
EAlexander Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 See attached... This assume you already have viewports and/or saved views in the file - otherwise the options are greyed out. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gerard Jonker Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Hi Andrew, Indeed, usually you want new Layers to be invisible and new classes to be visible in all existing viewports and Saved views. The dialog doesn't follow the general logic, which is a pity but we can correct for it. However, most om my new classes are not created new in the current document but instead they come along with copy and paste from older projects. These pasted classes are all set invisible. Such a shame. At least we should get a question about that when pasting objects with classes new to this document. a bit more than 2 cts, Kind regards, Quote Link to comment
