Hello everyone, I'm currently using for my main Architectural drawing production, Autocad Architecture 2013, and I've started the process of developing a 100% Revit template (no autocad bits therein), for all of our usual drawing sheets (Title Sheet, Demo sheets, New work sheets, Elevation Sheets, Detail sheets, schedule sheets, etc.). The Revit Architectural Project multi sheet template for Revit, ended up looking very much like the one I've used for the last 9-10 years (Autocad). I want to keep our sheets looking similar in appearance, if not identical, for our client's benefit.
I find it incredibly irritating that when I finally jump onto the Revit bandwagon (I bought the 2013 Revit package), that having an issue date that resides in every sheet would be a simple task for Revit. One edits this issue date "block" and it updates globally across all sheets - simple, you say?! NOT. As others in this thread have mentioned, this is a traditional method of quickly determining what sheets have been issued for what purpose (Permit Set, Construction Docs, Addendums, etc.).
Here's what my issue date 'block' looks like in Autocad. The text is an autocad block, so when I typed in ACB #1 CD 07.26.13, it showed up in all my sheets. It's a time saver - I don't have to manually enter in that data in every sheet.

Double clicked, gets one the Edit Block doo-hicky....

I've tinkered around with adding parameters, trying to "trick" Revit's automated revisions to perform the same function as my multi-line issue date autocad block, but I've failed. Having to plop a cloud whenever I want to add a new issue in Revit is maddening. Ideate has devised a solution - maybe - but, this is only for Revit 2014. Too bad, because I'd prefer not to spend a few thousand dollars to 'update' my brand new Revit 2013, just so I can have a functional autocad style issue date block.
Anyone ever find a work-around for this?
