That's because this is the wrong process. Click on the "Switch Reference with Active" button on the Trace & Reference Palette to access the Reference, and again to return to the Active. Also, I suggest working in Views not Viewpoints, where the Layer Combination, Scale, and Display Options have been saved.d'oh! thanks Laura... that's why I have referred him to bug-reporting as I haven't assumed other way of doing it...

try placing a trace reference with different layer combo in current window, then click "activate reference" to edit something in that reference - sure enough a new window containing that reference appears - but then try clicking back on your original window... - You will find the wrong layer combo is now active for that original view, so you still manually need to reselect desired layer combo & other display settings & regen that view to continue working. Then you need to do it over again every time you need to edit in another view windowViewsnot Viewpoints, where the Layer Combination, Scale, and Display Options have been saved.

Laszlo,
I do not think we need another button in the WE maze...
I would really want to tackle the problem itself and that is the need of multi-window environment. Do we really need it with the current functionality? Especially after introducing the T&R tool...
