drawing info on layout title

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to add a small piece of text to my drawing titles that will tell you where in the navigator the source file of a drawing is? It would sometimes be easier to look at a print out of a sheet and know which source file is creating each view without having to go to the layout and selecting the view/opening source view.

I do not think this is possible because there is no such AutoText entry that would return the name of the Source View of a placed Drawing.

Thanks. Not the answer I was hoping for

You would think it would be possible as Archicad obviously knows the path where the drawing comes from (see attached image).

Out of curiosity I tried "Drawingpath" and "Drawing_path" instead of "Drawingname" in the label script but it didn't work.

With an extensive view list I prefer to go back to the source via the layout just to be sure I'm on the right drawing and it can be quicker than trying to navigate the tree.

If the drawing path is not available you could always make use of the view ID to "code" the view name which may help locating the relevant view?

When I select a Drawing in the Layout Book, right-click and select the Open Source View command, ArchiCAD takes me there.
If at this point I switch to the View Map in the Navigator, the View that is the source will be shown in Bold. Even if the View is in a folder within a close subfolder, the folders and subfolders are automatically expanded to reveal the View in bold.
If you do it this way you can always find out which View is the source even if you have hundreds of Views.
