View Full Version : 2012 Active View changes when loading a Family

In a Revit session a user will have multiple views open, including modeling and drafting views. Upon editing and then loading a family, the active view in the project changes (apparently at random). For example, in a floor plan view the user selects a family and selects Edit Family. After modifying the Family, they click Load into Project. Then the active view in the project changes to some view other than the floor plan view. If this is a drafting view, they'll get an warning message that the model element can't be placed in a drafting view. Is this a bug or a feature?

Happens to me all of the time, so I suppose it is a "feature". Not a terribly useful feature, but.... (Just to annoy me, every once in a while it will actually load into the View that was most recently active in the project, making me wish it would do that all of the time.)
