Autotext code for Back Reference?

Paul King

I am trying to create a drawing label, but cannot seem to place an auto text string corresponding to back reference information. I note when placing auto text there is a greyed out 'reference' category. How do I un-grey this so I can see what autotext references are possible?

Attempting to reverse engineer the standard built-in Graphisoft title handling method of back referencing is causing me considerable discomfort.

What do people normally do? when scripting for back referencing?

Methy, I found that after doing all those things you mention, you still need to actually go to the Drawing Layout which shows the source marker and refresh it. Only once the source marker is visible somewhere on a layout drawing, does that drawing become available to reference back to.
