The wall had already failed once before, it was replaced in 2007. Granted it wasn't as dramatic a failure. That wall may have been properly built from the same plans and still failed.
I appreciate the input, but I've already figured out how to freeze drawings.
I'm looking for some real world methods that engineers have actually used. Our office will use one of the two methods I described in my original post. Is there a third method? Are these the only two methods and I just...
What do you mean by "lock"? I know of the "pin" command but that only holds the view in a particular location on the sheet.

Our office has been looking at two possible methods, each with their drawbacks. One way is to create duplicate views of the detail or section being revised, and...

I've even saved the file under a different...
