Anyone with a drawing title that can show ID?

Mats Knutsson — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 12:25:10 GMT

I'm looking for a title block for elevations/section that can show elevaton/section ID as well as name? If yes...shareable?

Operating system used: Windows

Hi Mats! A title block for drawings placed on a layout? Or a elevation/section marker?

A title block for a layout-placed section/elevation drawing is what I see in your screenshot. The basic AC drawing title can display the Drawing ID OR Layout ID and Drawing Name, but not the Layout Title.

You might want to check the GS SG website. SSA Downloads – Graphisoft Singapore

You can find some extra goodies there which are available via a GS ID and among them are also some interesting title blocks (and markers), which can display the Drawing ID, Drawing Title and Layout name.

One more thing I forgot - in the Drawing Selection Settings you also have, under Identification, the option to swich the Drawing ID (by View ID or by Layout ID) and Drawing Name (Name Only or ID+Name).

If that doesn't work for you, you can always go with the Label tool and some Autotext. I would give you another screenshot of this, but it doesn't work with the Autotext drop down menu open on Windows 11.

What about just using Autotext?

It won't look correct in the actual section/elevation, but will be correct on layouts.

The one on the left in my image is just an object where you can type what you want, the scale part is automatic.

I'll try that one. Didn't think about that. Generally I dislike every "creative" solution that replaces the excpected function of an existinga object, command, menu item.
