Wish - ShowOnlyInDetail

When new objects are added to a file they become visible in any detail view that has already been created and you have to go through and fix them all. If we could designate an object/objects as the only visible object in that detail, it would prevent new objects from showing up in a detail.

Instead of trying to hide a bunch of stuff I don’t want to see, how about just isolating what I do.

Thanks,

Hi Don,

Check out the layer control you have when working in details.

Hi Dan,

Long time since we conversed!!!

I am aware of the layer control, but it is only helpful if the object added is not on the same layer as the object in the detail. Unless I’m missing something?

I just thought, since in most cases I only have one object per sheet, that if we could isolate that object in the detail views, it would eliminate a lot of manipulating. After thinking about it awhile it seems like this should probably have been the approach all along.

Have a great day!!!

I totally agree - especially if there are a large number of sheets it takes considerable time to go through all details and hide the new block
