[kslifter]

✈ Pre-Flight checks

• I don't have SentinelOne antivirus installed (see above for the solution)
• I have searched in the issues (open and closed) but couldn't find a similar issue
• I have searched in the pyRevit Forum for similar issues
• I already followed the installation troubleshooting guide thoroughly

🐞 Describe the bug

I have turned sync views on and I'm using viewports and the tool isn't working. It isn't jumping to the same view as the previous window.

If I remember right, the tool is designed to sync floorplan and reflected floorplan only

[kslifter]

I've only ever used it on Floor Plans, typically to bounce between stair and elevator views. That is what I was trying to do today, but when switching between floor plan views it doesn't zoom to the stair I was working on.

Not sure I follow what you are doing.
Which views (view types) do you have in parallel?

[kslifter]

I have 8 floor plans open, each floor of our building, and I am editing the stair doors. So I typically turn on sync view so that way I can switch between floor plan views and not have to zoom to the door each time. Today when I tried to do this it didn't zoom to the stair door when I switched views with sync views turned on.

[jmcouffin]

It seems to work as expected on my side

syncv.mp4

[jmcouffin]

maybe you don't have admin rights on the folder where the tmp file is being saved. This file is an intermediary that saves the view and zoom data. It is located in the %appdata%/pyrevit/cache/ folder as a .tmp file

So I shutdown my computer over the weekend and when I tried it this morning it worked like it should. Thanks for taking the time to help me.
