    Default Notes that refer to drawing number on sheet

    Is there a way to create a note or a family that looks like a note that would allow you to reference to a detail on a sheet? For example a note that reads "ROOF BELOW, REF A2.34/01" I want the note to know it is associated with the referenced view, so if it's moved to a different sheet it would automatically update. Is this possible?

    Wow. Either nobody needs this, or nobody knows how to do this, or this is such a dumb question that nobody wants to answer. I hope it's not the latter.

    It IS a good question and I would love to see this. I could see it working as a part of the text editor where clicking a button while in the text editor allows one to insert a 'link' to a view and the view reference would then appear in the note as a blue link to that view.

    They seem to have the technology for it since a URL can happen, so hopefully this gets implemented soon.
