Layout marker referencing another Layout

Petros Ioannou

Hi All,

I have a really large scheme so the elevations (and plans) needs to be split into several layouts.
What I am looking for is an object/marker which points to/reffers to another layout sheet.
Similar to the section marker on plan which refers to a specific layout.
So far we have been doing this manually so if you rename or rearrange the layouts you have to update these manually.
Let me know if you have any ideas.

Thank you.

Petros:

You should be able to use Autotext Reference to accomplish this, in the Help files see: Autotext Reference Drawing.

Thanks David,
I was I aware of the Autotext Reference but I thought it would only point at the Drawing ID but turns out it gives you the option to reference it's respective layout as well.
