New building section views suddenly come in as Coarse

[patricks]

Our detail level settings in all projects has always been set to have 1/8" scale and larger drawings default to Medium detail, while 1/10" scale and smaller defaults to Coarse. Our floor plans are almost always 1/8" scale, and our building sections are also usually 1/8" scale. As a result, all our floor plans and building sections default to Medium detail level.

The problem now is that I set up a section/elevation View Template, and unchecked EVERYTHING except for Revit Link view settings. This View Template controls annotations in linked Revit files only. However, I applied that template to a section view, and checked the box to always apply that template to new views of the same type. Everything was fine as far as that template was applied to that initial view.

Now, whenever I create a new building section from the 1/8" scale floor plan, the resulting section defaults to Coarse. Anyone have an idea why this might be happening?

Annnnd now it just crashed with a fatal error when I tried to place a 1-1/2" scale section in a 1/8" plan, just to see what detail level it would have. grrrrrrr

Just confirmed that ALL new section and elevation views show up as Coarse, and also with the Show All phase filter, regardless of scale, and regardless of the phase filter of the view in which the new view was created.

In these new views, the properties show the Default View Template as the new template I created to override Revit link visibility only. I tried to modify that view template's settings to also apply to Detail Level and Phase Filter. When I placed a new section, it did come in with those correct settings. But as soon as I uncheck Detail Level and Phase Filter in that view template, any new section goes right back to being created with Coarse and Show All settings.

Doesn't make any sense. Looks like a bug?

*edit* I just DELETED those view templates, and still, all sections and elevations come in at Coarse detail level, no matter what scale! How the heck can I fix this??

Have submitted sample files to Autodesk for their investigation.
