Double cross refenence drawings

Hello everyone

Is anyone have done automatically double cross refencing the drawings, or is it even possible with ArchiCAD 11

See attached sample.

I don't think what you want to do is a correct procedure. The symbol in floor plan indicates where that drawing is in the construction set and the title of that elevation lets you know that is the drawing that you are looking for. You can always go back to the floor plan since there are easier to find without having to reference them back, this is standard practice.

Picture that the elevation is for a 1,000 floor tower. Which floor plan will be referenced on the title?

in my opinion if there is 100 story building and your section marker is shown on all 100 levels then it should show all 100 page #'s, other option is that you show section marker only on 1 level. What about detail marker? It should have same double cross reference.

Well, it may be a potEto potAto situation. I was taught that CD's were referenced from general to specific and to avoid including any extra information.

Hi everyone,

The attached image is out of my course manual which is maybe what is being asked for. I think it makes a lot of sense and would be nice to be able to do.

Cheers,

This is similar to the US Corps of Engineers requirements, and as Karl mentions, it is on the wishlist.
