This is really hazy, but I think if you have sent a view to layout and then change the layer display, a similar thing can happen and the Refresh updates the view with the new layer display settings - but maybe I am remembering incorrectly. I also have it in the back of my mind that this is also related to layer display. See if the F5 (Refresh Display) works for you. If you tile the plan and layout windows, the action of activating the layout window will update it without the need for a Refresh Display. The layout will not update - the object will remain in it's moved position. It will auto update and move in the layout as well. Open a layout and plan file and have them in separate windows (this doesn't work with tiled windows). as per page 201-206 of the UG ,and then save your Layout file as your Template Layout File again, so you get them in all Layouts from then on, otherwise you get just the Main Layout File you saved 1st as it is you default Layout Template.The instances where I have seen this are fixed with F5 (Refresh Display) - with the layout active. I think you are referring to the User Guide Tutorials right ?, If you want to use them, you then have to Open you Layout Template and then insert the optional Template Pages for the Cover Page, Foundation, Floor 1,Floor2,Elevations etc. However from your 2nd post I think you are confusing your Layout Template and the fact you have made Layout Template Pages as well, which is optional. You don't need to Open a Layout at the same time as a Plan, that doesn't need to be done until you are ready to start sending Plan Pages to Layout ,then the 1st time for each Plan you will get the above message, once the Layout is Open, goto save and save it in the same folder as your Plan file, then it is linked to the Plan, in fact you can then open a layout and click on the Layout and open the Plan from there if needed at the page your clicked on in the Layout.

Hi Dave, I didn't realise it was you, and that you had upgraded and were here on CT now.
