View Full Version : Reference other view - Problems

I'm using a detail callout that references detail number, detail sheet, and sheet where the detail callout is placed. For some reason on my elevation sheets the callout is no longer updating to the correct sheet that its placed on. So for instance I have a callout that says Detail "6" on detail sheet "300" shown on sheet "200". The problem is that the callout is actually on sheet 201. I’m using the same callout throughout the rest of the set with no problems. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks
Edit - I just noticed it's having the problem through out the set. Oh and I'm referancing drafting views.

Is the Callout hidden in view on Sheet 200? This is a "known" issue with the where it is called from parameter. You have to remove the elevation(s) from the sheet 200, save once, then put them back on the sheet. It should reference correctly then. This is especially true for depentant views.
If 200 is an elevation, and the extents (view depth - dashed blue extents of Elevation) is deep enough where this callout is touched by the depth extents, then to Revit, the first place it could be visible IS 200. You'll then in plan have to change the depth extents of the elevation.

Wow!, Scott, how did you figure this out? I had no clue about this mystery of a view whose detail bubble "says 300", but "is shown on sheet 200", but "is actually on sheet 201" !?!?
Amazing!

I was using this "reference back to its loaction" before the "Hide Element in View" capability was added. Then this "issue" of referenceing back to where it could be "hidden" bit me on an upgraded project. Most of this came from filing a report with the factory several years ago..
