Use this procedure to place a model space view on a sheet and resolve its field placeholders.
The predefined callout tools in AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset contain field placeholder information about the sheet number and the view number. This information can be resolved only when the model space view created by the callout is referenced into a sheet. As long as the model space view is not placed on a sheet, the information is unresolved, and a question mark is displayed.
