Hello!
Since there’s the new Bock Definitions panel…
Is it possible to set an inserted block (xref if you like) to ‘unloaded’ / ‘loaded’ ?
Meaning somehow it’s kept in the block list (maybe greyed out), but does not load it’s content, until it is toggled back to ‘loaded’.
Idea is to speed up loading time of files with lots of linked blocks, without having to remove blocks.
It’s a convenience feature - keep the links in the file, but don’t show them.
Have you proposed this to AsuniCAD (who are the developers of VisualARQ)? I seems to me to be preferable to support worksessions in VisualARQ compared to using blocks for something, which they are not intended for.
Yes, I know, but I tried vaSectionView, and it didn’t show the objects loaded as worksession. Will double-check though, maybe I’m blind.
But that’s another story. I still think the initial wish is legitimate. Xrefs - big fat CAD plans in this case - can be transformed in place, which worksessions cannot. I’d have to modify all CAD drawings to sit in the right place upfront.
Toggling them on/off to speed up the workflow would be useful.
How about Linked blocks as “Reference”? I use then all the time. They’re lighter than regular blocks, and the Layers do not mix with the file layers, so they are easy to “turn off” by hiding a single layer.
Plus you can move them.
Hi @Toni_Osterlund , this should work right now. I mean, as long as the section line is in the active file, when you activate it it should section everything in the model, including Rhino and VisualARQ objects from other attached files. If you have an example that it’s not working, please send it over.
