Section/Elevation Reference

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to get PlotMaker to report the drawing numbers for section elevtions markers placed in the plan view?

My marker correctly report the sheet number the drawing is placed on but not the drawing number oin that sheet.

Seems simple but I can't get it to work.

Thanks.

Couple of things....

1. Drawing NUMBER is typically DEFINED in ArchiCAD... So Plotmaker will be SHOWING Drawing number based on what's in the sections bubble as typed in AC..

2. If you want to Play Around with the layout and thereby the numbers of the sections after you get to plotmaker then....
a. Try typing in <DRAWINGNUMBER> in the spot on the Section Bubble (you probably have to change it to CUSTOM first
b. Then, in Plotmaker, switch the Drawing Number (in the Drawing Settings box) to either CUSTOM or BY PLOTMAKER (forced by plotmaker as you placed them). I will be using this technique for details eventually.

Hope this Helps,
