Detail layout ID not updating

sknsnw9 — Tue, 13 May 2025 00:12:25 GMT

The layout ID isn't updating when I make new details. It references to sheet to 6.3 when it's actually on sheet 6.1. Any help to get that to automatically update? I tried to change some settings around, perhaps I'm not looking in the right place.

Operating system used: Windows 10

You are linked to the 'first placed drawing'.

Are you sure you don't have that detail placed on another layout as well?

Set it to link to 'selected drawing' and then select it from the list.

Ah, I see what the issue is now. I have the details prepopulated on other sheets in my template, I deleted those since I didn't need them anymore. Updated and it now works. Thanks Barry.

When I have a first detail located in a plan, elevation, or section and I place a second detail by dragging a copy of the first, I have had this problem. It's better not to do it this way.
