      Hi All,

       

      Any one know how to set delayed update the 2d drafting view, means when I modify the 3d model or add some more shape on it, I don't want the orginal created 2d view to be updated in real time, is there one function to control that?

       

      For example the simple block 2d view below, I go back to modeling space and add one more cylinder, but I don't want the 2d drafting view updated in real time. I need delayed updated.

       

       

      Thank you in advanced.

       

      William

          I notice if you click on the drawing at the top of the tree there is an option for "Automatic view update". I don't know for sure what it does but you could try unchecking it.

           

          There is also the option to save the drawing as a detached drawing, but I don't understand it because even when I do that the drawing still updates to show changes automatically. Also I am not sure how to "reattach" the drawing.
