[2023.1 SP1] Recall viewset does not generate a new report page?

Like the title. I only get one page with one CadReportObject regardless if I have 5 recalled viewsets in my program.

What can cause this? I use the CAD portrait and CAD landscape default templates.

    The recall viewset does not generate a new report page, even though the help file going back to 1999-something states that it shall/should...

    With CADReportOnly, this should create 4 pages displaying the CAD according to the viewset. It does not. No new pages are created for each viewset and the viewset
    has no effect on the CADReportObject = you must doubleclick the CADReportObject in the report to adjust it the way you want - it simply ignores the viewset settings.
    Recall viewset=1
    Recall viewset=2
    Recall viewset=3
    Recall viewset=4

    In order for this actually happen and work as the helpfile states, I had to put an evaluation of something in between:
    Recall viewset=1
    Evaluate CIR1
    Recall viewset=2
    Evaluate CIR1
    Recall viewset=3
    Evaluate CIR1
    Recall viewset=4​
    Evaluate CIR1

    This would create 4 pages with the CADReportObject. As I have to edit the CADReportObject to suit what I want to display, I also hide the dimension label coming from
    CIR1 since I only used that to trigger a new page for the viewsets. This does work but is a workaround and quite different from whatever is stated in the helpfile.

    The description in the helpfile is actually what I would want, a new report page for each recalled viewset when using CADOnly report.

    Snapshot is good, but it comes with it's own limitations as not displaying the pointcloud sometimes and is limited in size on report. They have their own uses, so to speak.
