Linking text to a layout

Anonymous — Fri, 19 May 2023 13:56:51 GMT

We have text on our plans that we want to reference a specific layout sheet. Is this possible?

Could you be a bit more detailed on exactly what kind of text, where is it located, how should it be shown in the Layouts?
Or do you want a hyperlink so that by clicking on the text it will navigate you to the specified Layout?
Maybe an image explaining the situation?

We have a text block that we call out details that are on a certain layout. But as we move the layouts around we have to remember to go back and change the text to reflect the new layout number. We were hoping there was a way to have it reference the layout similar to how detail/section/elevations reference the layout to where they are placed.

Create a Drawing List with the Criteria showing the Layout Subset you want on the drawing.

From Project Map:
Project Indexes> Drawing List

What I'm actually needing is we have a general note on our plans but we reference our wall types sheet within these notes. We were hoping to be able to use an referenced text for this instead of catching an incorrect sheet callout later on if the pages get rearranged.

I think what you want to do can be done via AutoText, in the Help files see: Documentation > Annotation > Autotext > Autotext Reference Drawing (at the top of the page).

Go to the drawing on the layout you want to reference to.
Select the drawing, right click and "Set as Autotext Reference".
Go back to your text block, and in the appropriate place while editing hit the Autotext button.
Change the Category dropdown to the layout you want to reference and select Layout ID or whatever it is you want to display.
