Custom View Names with autotexts

Very regularly, I need to have multiple views of the same Story / Elevation / Worksheet.

E.g. with a different layer combination, or renovation filter.

 

Of course Clone Folders could be used to group them. Though often I choose to have separate copied views of a single relevant Story / Elevation / Worksheet, rather than cloning all of them. In this case we need to change the View Name to make them distinct.

 

I wish to use the custom View ID / Name like this:

So a combination of default 'By Project Map' as <AutoText> with a custom suffix or prefix for both ID and Name.

 

In this way  the relation with the view's source ID / name is maintained and is automatically updated.

The ability to use other autotexts from Project Info would be a good bonus.

God yes please, I was just in the middle of putting a bunch of design options on a set of layouts and thought to myself "man I wish I could just have each of these called the name of the views set design option"

 

Would also mean I can keep the same layouts and just make the changes to the names through the design options config window without having to touch the views themselves at all! 

 

To be honest I wish they would just include auto text into everything, Small convenience in the short term but over the span of a project they're huge time savers.
