Nested DLVPs

[RussU]

Recently I've been nesting files within other files as design layer viewports.

It's noted that when a file updates you need to update that VP within the next file manually (or check "update on file open")

 

So my Q is, when I have multiple levels of nesting, the file I'm working on only checks the reference one level above it's self. If the DVLP are out of date within that file VW won't alert you....
Anyone know of a way to check status when it's beyond one level upward? (Save for opening and updating each one)

 

One more thing with DLVPs, the "Update all viewports" command will do the SLVPs, but not always the DLVPs, so you can end up with out of date drawings... VW really should IMO, update all DVLPs first, and then move onto the SLVPs after.

You can check whether viewports are out of date by looking in the Navigation Palette. That shows what viewports across the whole file need updating.

 

In the example below, all need updating except for the one that I have currently rendering.....

Thanks , I've never looked at that panel before... Really handy!

 

This is great for day to day work, but I know that I've got a referenced file with out of date references within it (This file has grown to be rather huge!) so I'll have a look around that panel and see what I can do with it,

many thanks @markdd
