override drawing view update?

[boffin5]

It's me again.

I want to create some geometry on a V5 drawing view, but the machine says I must update the view first.

However, I don't want to update the freaking view.

Is there any way to override the update request?

No

yes!

Isolate the view (right MB click on relevant view in tree - select 'view xx object' for more options, isolate is about the 3rd one down in the list).

Once isolated you're free to draw til your hearts content, only trouble is the view is 'brain dead' and will never update. You might want to save a copy of the drawing and do your isolated layout work without affecting your 'master' linked copy.

Hope this helps!

Another workaround, create a "dead" view not linked to any space. Then put your new geometry in that view, overlapping the un-updated view.

Of course, your view thinks it needs to be updated because it thinks that something changed. It is probably best to update the view just to make sure that nothing changed.

I'll take CATIAJIM's suggestion one step further.

Create a temporary view to create your geometry in and copy paste it into the unupdated view. Then the geometry is in the view you want and you can delete the tempory view.
