Elevation and section markers

Anonymous — Tue, 30 May 2023 08:05:10 GMT

I have been using the same interior marker (IEMarker 1) for both removals and new work, just changing the layer combinations to reflect the information I want to show when they get placed on the sheets. Problem, the marker designation on both sheets are both pointing to the removals elevations. How do I have the markers on the 'new' point to the correct detail/page number on the corresponding elevation sheet?

Section markers are something that have been overlooked in the Renovation status, as mentioned in another post here.

The best workaround I can think of is to place some text with a solid background and the correct renovation status, and "bring to front" so it displays in the appropriate view.

You can even make this text follow the relevant section drawing by going to the layout, select the section view, right click and "set as autotext reference", go back to the text and edit it, inserting autotext and changing the Category to "Reference for Section X" and "Layout ID ref".

Hope this helps.

I wound up doing what seemed logical (it was in the other article you noted, too). I set up different layers but I used a linked marker for the New elevations because I had already set up the 'renovation' and 'new' layers and saved them to the view map as 'Removals Elevations' and New Elevations'

Thanks
