View Reference Enhancements

The view references have been enhanced including instance based reference labels and the ability to include shared parameter labels.

Instance Based View Reference Labels

Previously when placing a view reference that referenced another view, the view label was type based. This label is now instance based making view reference more flexible and easier to coordinate with your documentation standards. Make changes to the label on a view after it is placed by changing the value for Reference Label on the Properties palette. The default value assigned to the view reference is set by the type parameter of the view, Default Reference Label.

For additional information, see Place a Reference Elevation, Create a Reference Section, and Create a Reference Callout.

Shared Parameters in View Reference Family Labels

Add a label to a view reference family to display a shared parameter value defined as a project parameter to views in a model file. Editing labels and adding shared parameters is now possible for the following categories:

• Callout Heads
• Elevation Marks
• Section Marks
• View References

The workflow for adding shared parameters is identical to the workflow used for other supported family categories. In the model file, the shared parameter is assigned to the Views category.

For additional information, see Create Shared Project Parameters , Edit Label Dialog, and Build a Label.
