Re: Duplicate sheets in order to reduce customizing time and increase consistency.
Just adding my two cents to this wish...this seems like it would be a no-brainer and part of the software already. Having transitioned from AutoCAD, in this regard, Revit is a serious step backwards. I work for an MEP firm so we have 3 disciplines to create sheets for, with subcategories under that (Lighting, Power, etc.) In AutoCAD I can set up sheets for a discipline, ensure everything is correct, and then save as to create the other disciplines. Run a few LISPs or scripts to automate repathing of titleblocks (we use nested arch. titleblock in discipline specific tbks), rename matchline references, rename view titles and sheet name. I recently set up a large 12 unit building in Revit...creating the sheets for this project was a nightmare. I venture to say it doubled or tripled my time for this task. I would like to see a way to copy or duplicate sheets with views, similar to the "apply dependent views" or sheet creation out of a sheet list schedule.

This is a request that I have heard from a number of users that I work with.
Revit does have the "Guide Grid" tool, but it doesn't quite work like we expect it too.
Would it be accurate to say that what we are looking for is a way to snap the border/boundary of views to the exact same place on sheet after sheet?
(As opposed to snapping the column grid lines on a sheet.)

You may want to check out the RushForth Tools for Revit that has this capability. There is a video on the Project Setup tool on the website www.rushforthprojects.com
