Same annotation / 2D info in multiple stories

[Ancha]

Hello,

Shouldn't there be a easy way/option to display Annotation in multiple stories? There are numerous times you need to use the same annotation (texts, contour dimensions, projected element level dimensions from lower stories etc).
Maybe something like giving the option to 2D info to "have home strory" and "be shown in Home story only/All stories" etc).

Or even starting to think about not having info that is only "2D" and belongs to one story (All Documentation tools), but exists in the 3D model as well.
The not-perfect-workarround for Lines is to do it with Morph-lines and show them in All stories (Plot limits, planning offsets etc).

Hi Ancha,

If you need some 2D Elements to be displayed on several stories you can create a worksheet where you draw them.

You can create a view to place them on which layout you want. You can also place it on a master layout used by all the layouts that have to show it.

You can use the Trace to display it.

Thnx BrunoH. I understand this approach. But try to avoid it as (from what I know), when leveling the information in multiple views-worksheets etc and placing them in top of each other on the layout, the info is not correctly displayed in DWG exports - it is showing each view one next to the other. (Is there a solution to this btw or something that I am missing regarding dwg-translators or something?)

This would be great if you had the option to use a Worksheet as a Drawing imported to the View..

Hi Ancha,

In this case the solution is to use Hotlink modules.

2 Possibilities :

1 - On the story where they are drowned select all the 2D elements to display on other's then save the selection as Hotlink module.

    You can place this module on any story you want (you have to do it only once). If you didn't replace the 2D original elements with the module you can modify

     them then resave them as a module with the same name.

    You can also replace the original elements with the new created module witch can be edited and all placed instance will update.

2- You can create a story under or above where you place those 2D elements and place that story as a Hotline module.
