When publishing large sets of drawings, updating the title block and filling out revisions can take a considerable amount of time.
Often this process is slowed by a layout refreshing all views when it is opened, and for elevations and sections this can be slow.
A simple technique to use time more wisely:
- Go to layout view
- Open Publisher and create a publisher set of all layouts as PDFs
- Publish this to a folder on your PC which you can delete later.
- Do something else while the set is published (or schedule during a break).
- Then go through layouts updating titleblock, revisions etc.
This
method means you don't wait for content to update as you open each layout.
Note: of course you must not leave layouts and open a view, or ArchiCAD will think
you have changed something in the model and begin refreshing the layouts again…
