New Levels Added to Existing Veiwsheets

[GoetzInd]

Hi guys. Does anyone know a way to keep a newly created level from being added to existing veiwsheets? Poked around but couldn't find anything.

 

TIA

Nothing I have found. Instead I created a "seed file" that has all my levels and viewsheets set so I don't have to go through turning off the levels in the individual viewsheets every time.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Brian can you explain "seed file". I'm not following you.

REALLY FRUSTRATING!

I believe what Brian means is that he has default files set up with viewsheets the way he wants them and then just merges the geometry into the file.

 

I do the same thing with my files. I have default files for all of my mold plates with viewsheets corresponding to different ops and orientations. Just merge the geometry from Solidworks and I'm good to go.

 

But I still have to turn off levels in existing viewsheets when I create geometry on a new level. Very frustrating.

LA CAMmer is right. That is exactly what my seed file does. But for 95% of the jobs I work on I use the levels I have defined and 1-2 viewsheets. I only run 3 axis mills so it is usually the main viewsheet and a viewsheet for the bottom side of the part.

Ok. I gotcha

That doesn't work "seed file" for those of us making various OPs files, my OPs vary and the viewsheets are hardly the same.

iI have to as a final chore, go back and re-set ALL of my view sheets that I create along the way becasue as you add new levels they get tuened on.

 

BIG, BIG, BIG, PITA

 

Saving your viewsheet as a bookmark, NOTHING should be added to it until you ADD it

We have already fixed this for the next major release and I am working to add it to an upcoming MU.

Already working on X8?

Already working on X8?

 

 

Software development in some level is always a couple versions ahead. X9 for instance may not be in actual coding development but there have probably been discussions about direction. All software works that way. When you see a Beta of anything, there is already something in development, albeit not in any kind of alpha stage but it's being worked up

YYEeesssss!
