Dwg rebuild help

Dwg rebuild help

Dwg rebuild help

(OP)
I have a large dwg with a lot of detail. I created two broken out views from a view on sheet 1 and moved them to sheet 2 because of space. Now whenever I open this dwg, there is the green lights (rebuild) next to the two views on sheet 2 and never go away. Is this a bug, or is there a trick to fix this??
thanks

ctopher,

I have this happen too.  Sorry, I do not have a fix.  I will be interested to see if someone else does.

If Sheet 1 is Open (also), and you rebuild it (no greenies on Sht 1), does the lights on Sht 2 go out after a rebuild?

Sometimes they go out, if they do..the ones on sht 1 go on. They switch back-and-forth. There is always greenies on either sht at all times. Frustrating!

RE: Dwg rebuild help

What I have done in the past is to insert the same drawing view I had on Sht1 onto Sht 2.  Then I pull my details from the view on Sht 2, then hide the duplicate view so only the view on Sht 1 is visible.

Was that confusing?

MadMango,
No, not confusing. I'll try it, thanks for the tip

RE: Dwg rebuild help

We have seen something similar in the past.  It appeared to be related to the time dependencies when views are created from others and the sheets they are on.  There did seem to be some logical reasoning to it.  It that case we found that opening and saving the sheet in the appropriate order fixed it.  On the other hand we also decided for our purposes that as long as the currently open sheet was up to date it did not really matter and that in fact, although the other sheets might indicate they THOUGHT they needed a rebuild, nothing had infact changed in them.
