You can't. They are intentionally excluded from the detail view.

That said, I feel compelled to say it seems like a really bad idea to do enlarged plans with the detail tool, since you will need to update from source any time you make a change to the original plan.

Save the zoomed view at a bigger scale, with appropriate more detailed annontation on separate layers, and place it in PlotMaker.

The Detail tool is meant for the 1:5 detailing ...

I agree with my esteemed colleagues. The detail tool is (unfortunately) unsuitable for enlarged plans. I looked into it for one client who wanted the dynamically linked drawing and sheet numbers, but it could not be made to work well enough.

BTW: there is a workaround to get the linked drawing numbers. Place a dummy detail in the floor plan and combine the resulting (empty) detail drawing withe the actual enlarged plan view in PM.

Be careful with this technique. Our office lost a whole day's details because ArchiCAD schitzed out with our dummy markers and vamooshed them. Gone. Bye bye.

We managed to track the problem to dummy detail markers - don't know why or how, but we've changed our methods since.
