Reference the sheet number a drawing view has been moved to

Is there a way to incude the sheet number that a drawing view has been moved to? I have an elevation tag that shows the view identifier, I am looking to have the sheet number referenced where I show "Field Text-Manual" in the attachments below. I am using inventor 2014.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

 

Inventor can't do this.  This has been a perpetual request over the years, but nothing has been implemented so far.

 

For now, you have two options.  There is an add-in that does something like this here:

 

http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/INVNTOR/Detail/Index?id=appstore.exchange.autodesk.com%3aviewrefer...

 

But, it doesn't appear to create symbols exactly like you have shown in your attachments.  So, it may or may not work for you.

 

The other option is to develop a macro using Inventor's programming API.  Are you familiar with iLogic, VBA, or any other methods of customizing applications?
