Something is afoot with the graphics in several views, and it seems to be a random occurrence.
As we progress into the CD phase of our documentation, we usually switch the project browser to Not On Sheets so that only views not already on sheets will display, and then we work on viewports on sheets directly in the sheet view itself, using activate/deactivate view.
Lately I've noticed that while working in one view on the sheet, when everything else should be gray or halftone, certain objects in certain other views will show full strength. I'm talking like a couple of walls and doors in an enlarged plan view on the same sheet or something.
And then what's worse, if I click on the callout in the plan view I'm in to open the enlarged plan that's on the same sheet as the floor plan, the graphics will look like it did on the sheet! Either part or all of that enlarged view I just opened will be halftone, even though I can pre-highlight or select anything in that view.
No amount of hitting F5 refresh will work. Usually if I close out of that view, and close out of that sheet view altogether, then go back to the view (expand the sheet in the PB and open the view directly) then it will show up correctly. But dang it's pretty annoying to work that way! I've been working directly on sheets like this since version 6.1 in 2004 and I've never seen it behave this way before version 2010.
