An idea I have had for plotmaker 10 is to have an extra data entry point under the layout name for each layout sheet in the properties section of the navigator. see attached image for better understanding.
A user can select a layout sheet of choice and see at a quick glance the title of the layout sheet and revision/issue of that particular drawing and made changes as needed. This would save the need to zoom in on the title block to see these particular details of that particular layout sheet especially if the layout book uses various sized paper.
Then in the Title block it self a user would set up AUTOTEXT for the revision/issue just like the name of the layout sheet in the title block.
Maybe in the Tree by Subsets the layout sheets use an extension of some sort similar to the layer settings with in archicad. Eg. Layer name “000 A Text .DEM” whereby “.DEM” is the extension.
Also the use of the funnel could be incorporate as well so that a user can print/publish only items selected from the funnel function.
eg. VIEW of the TREE BY SUBSET
