Hi

When I change a layer to invisible the layer visible
in view dialog don't show that.

Using nx8.5 in non Master dwg.

If you change the layer status after you place the view, you will need to use the "reset to global" option (within the layer visible in view dialog) on that view.

Thank you Cowski

But when I did it that change all layers status
to visible status.
 
Note that my task work good only the word invisible
not show n on the dialog instead I have a blank line
 
When you PLACE ( create new ) a BASE view on a drawing, the view will inherit the global layer setting at this point in time an lock that layer setting for this view. If you there after change the global layer settings it will not affect that view.

If you like to change the settings for this particular view, you can ONLY do that using the Visible in View option.
You can sync it to the current global settings by the "reset to global" button, but it will again lock the layer settings for the edited view.

If you create a Projected view, a detail view, a section view, FROM the view mentioned above, the new view will inherit the layer settings of the parent view but the new view will lock it's own layer settings. - The layer settings are unique for all views as soon as the view have been placed/ created. ( I think dependent detail views might be in sync with the parent , but not independent detail views. (?))

To be more clear I atached thes pictures

I expect to see the word "Invisible" instead of a blank line
so when I come next time I can see the layer status "Visible" or "Invisible"

Thanks in advanced
 
A blank line means that it is invisible. Having a blank space, instead of the word "invisible" (which looks very much like "visible" on first glance) lets you easily distinguish which layers are visible in the view.

Layers Visible in view only have two states, visible or .......
Layer Settings have 3 states (4 depending if "Work" is counted as a state or not),: invisible, visible only and selectable.
You can set the work layer to be invisible in the view. I would not recommend it but you can.

Thak you Tomas
Thank you Cowski

That strange when I come next to change from invisible
to visible because all unset layers are also blanks
And that enforce me to add a category for those layers.
