Viewport linking

[grant_PD]

I'd like a way to link viewports so that their class/layer visibilities are the same.  That way one can produce a set of plans at different scales, on different sheets, but reflect the same information.

Maybe this is a viewport style...... so you could link some things but unlink or override others. I often create a series of camera viewports for example, where everything wants to be the same except I want to turn a different scene layer on in each. It can take a lot of time if something that is common to all of the viewports needs to be updated.

I see it like that to. 

When you make a duplicate viewport, you can check a box to "link attributes to parent."  Doing so gives you an exact copy that is linked to the parent, changing anything in the parent changes the child.  But then you can uncheck each parameter available in the OIP and control them at the child level.

Incorporating some parent/child thinking into VW could be useful all sort of places.....
