Drawing ID availability for Title Back Referencing

Brandon-W_DWa

Problem: Back referencing within a Drawing Title is limited to Layout ID only; it does not offer the ability to back reference other fields of the back referenced view.

 

Scenario / Use Case: As a firm standard, we want to back reference to a specific detail or view, not just a Layout. For instance, we want the Drawing Title of "Section Detail" (G3/A550) to back reference the wall section from which it derives: "Wall Section" (B2/A350). As it stands, we only get the "A350" of "B2/A350" (see image: red is what we don't currently have the availability to add). Archicad knows the Drawing ID, because it lists it in the window that opens when you click "Back Reference..." in Drawing Selection Settings.

 

Wish: For more fields to be available to back reference, each individually toggle-able (so you can have just the Layout ID, just the Drawing ID, or both). Or, even more combinations if more fields become available.
