Plan View Tags Referencing wrong dependent view

We have our first project in Revit that we are having to split among multiple sheets because of the size of the building, so I have made 3 dependent views from the main overall view, named them, cropped them and placed each part (A,B, and C) on separate sheets.  Now that I am trying to do enlarged toilet plan views, I want to tag the plans with the plan callouts on the 1/8” sheets that are the dependent views, but all the view tags are referencing dependent view A since it is the first dependent view in the list.  If I change sheet A to be named Sheet X for instance, all the view tags now reference sheet B since that becomes the first dependent view alphabetically.  I want them to reference the sheet they appear in, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do that, even though they are in different dependent views completely and within the crop region, they all default to the first dependent view in alphabetical order.  Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Andria, are you using the detail callout tool to generate the enlarged plans, and if so, are you creating them within the "overall" view or the seperate dependent views?

I used the callout tool-floorplan to make the toilet room callouts for 1/4" enlarged plans from the 1/8" dependent views. I have tried tagging them in the parent view and in the dependent view with no luck.  I have one oddball callout that reports correctly, but it was made no differently than the rest of them.

Hi Andria,

 

What you are seeing sounds like the designed behavior. For more information, I would suggest taking a look at the following post from our Product Support blog, the Revit Clinic: Sort Order, Referencing Sheet Parameters & Dependent Views

 

There is an existing request item open to change this behavior in the future, but if you have any additional comments you would like to provide about it, I would encourage you to do so at the Products section of the Feedback Site.

I was able to keep our tags the way they are so it still automatically reports the referencing sheet, but displays the correct dependent view.  It was so simple, I feel a little ridiculous.  I had to go through each of the dependent vies, and turn off my crop region to see the rest of the plan,  and turn off all plan callout references that were not in the crop boundaries of the view I wanted them to show in.  Even though interior elevation tags behaved correctly when inside the crop boundary, plan callouts do not.
