Schedule objects on a layout

Hi,
we've written a marker object (the Drawing Symbol subtype) which will be placed on layouts.

We've just tried scheduling it and it's not being picked up - is it possible for schedules to look at layouts?

Thanks.

I think only Project Indexes can do something with layouts.

just curious, What is the marker supposed to indicate and what is it from that marker you want to schedule? What is a Drawing Symbol ?

We want an object that can be used as a marker to flag H&S hazards on the building site. For various reasons it would be better to have it on the layout rather than in the model, but need a way of getting the content of them into a schedule.

The Drawing Symbol thing is a class of object defined in a custom object, that suggests how it will be used.
Since you can't schedule things in a Layout, the work- arround is not too bad at all.

In Layout, place the objects where you want to see them -
Copy and paste them to any location in a plan view -
Save that view and drag it into the layout
