    Default Field - display the Xref name used for a View in the SSM

    I have the need to put a field in a callout that will display the xref name used for a View in the SSM.
    I cannot get this to show up at all.
    Any ideas?

    I can get view name, scale, view and sheet number but not the xref name used in that view.

    Hi

    I think you might be out of luck on this one.

    Field category "SheetSetPlaceholder" does not offer access to Xrefs.

    I am probably wrong here ( so please feel free to correct me here ), but I think Field category "Object" is the only way within Fields to access Xrefs.

    Have a good one, Mike

    me too. i really don't want to re-use AutoTag to get this feature if it can be done with fields.
    Sometimes, i get lost in my own thoughts and need to ask directions to find my way back.

    Rtext is probably the only way, but what you are trying to do needs fields as well, so I really don't think it can be done either, anyone at AutoDesk listening? Better support for xrefs in fields!
