Hi,

I'm also having problems with view range, but about linked files.
I have separate files for each floor (as they repeat in other buildings in a different assembly) and they are inserted as links in the host file, per level.
In some levels the dimensions from the floor below are showing through the current floor, and are cluttering the view in a very bad way. The thing is that in a few other floors it doesn't happen, and I'm struggling to find out the reason, as it seems the settings are the same inside each of the links (they use the same View Template).
Any clue?

Thank you so much for any help!

Using linked files for repeating floors is generally not as effective as people expect. The host model needs to have a unique level for each floor and then you have to contend with subtle differences, if any, for those floors.

Annotation from models do not appear unless you are using the By Linked View option in Visibility/Graphics for each link. View range also won't show annotation, won't cause it to appear, only model elements.

We will need more clues and description of your set up to help more.
