Someone has a drafting sheet with 1 view. Next to the view in the navigator it says (Active). The border of this view is dashed.

Can someone tell me what causes this? I have never seen this before.

My first thought was to connect it to Active Sketch view, thinking maybe there is a sketch in it, but I dont see any sketch. The view has no symbol to expand it to see any sketch or anything. So I dont think this is that. lol

My brain is like a sponge. A sopping wet sponge. When I use it, I seem to lose more than I soak in.

To clarify, He has other sheets with several views. Only the one view has a dashed border. I dont think this is a view border setting, because I believe that would change all views to a dashed border. If a dashed border is even possible in those settings. lol

The view has been made the Active Sketch View.
Doesn't matter that no sketch exists.

The dashed border is to show that it's the Active Sketch View. This is controlled in the customer defaults of the drafting standard being used.
See image below, this is a one view drawing, no sketch has been created, but the customer default is set and the view has been made active for sketching.

RMB the sheet border and selecting Active Sketch View, will deactivate the single view and return to the OOTB, where the sheet is active for sketching.
