I was talking with my friend and former co-worker, Jon Rose, who is the BIM Manager at Devenney Group in Phoenix Arizona. He asked about something I was not aware of, so of course that means it requires a new post here!
The issue: Drafting Views were going to be deleted when accepting a Design Option in Revit.
Turns out Drafting Views and Sheets can be associated with Design Options. I knew schedules and all other views could do that as the content presented then changes based on the option selected. I will even be spending some time presenting on this topic in my MEP lab for remodels and alternates later this year at BILT-Eur 2018 in Slovenia. But Drafting Views and Sheets do not change relative to a Design Option.
This post will cover the 'how and why' as I understand it!
As you can see in the image below (click to enlarge) that both Drafting Views and Sheets can be assigned to a Design Option (via VG or VV).
Then...
If you Accept Primary...
Revit wants to delete those Drafting Views and Sheets associated with an option being purged from the project...
This makes sense if you want the Revit project to be purged of all irrelevant information related to the deleted options.
