    Lightbulb View Title that automatically numbers via grid placement

    Is this possible?

    I work in government contracts where standards stipulate that we number all of our views according to placement on the grid that is on the titleblock. Is there a way to create a view title family that can read where on the sheet it is being placed and number itself according to which area of the grid it is placed? (ex. A1, C5) For now we just do it manually but it would obviously save a lot of checking and rechecking time throughout the process if it was automatic.

    Thanks!

    Joe

    Hi Joe, don't think we don't love you just because no one immediately responded... it's just that this topic is one of those... well, "fun" topics. Theoretically, there are ways to build a system to semi-automate the View Title numbering on your sheet using a coordinate system. But, and I would ask the forum legends on here to chime in, I have yet to see one that provides an ROI that makes it worth the time and effort of implementation and PINIC issues that come with it (level of discipline often required exceeds common user experiences). I face the same thing daily, as we also do a lot of government work, and while we have toyed around with some check / quality control scripting and other nonsense, nothing we've implemented or tested to-date does anything to get us where we want to be, and where I suspect you want to be, where it's automatic by the grid coordinates as you place the View. Anyone else want to add anything? I'm admittedly not as "in the loop" as I once was.
