Get tag from the current views name

Anonymous — Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:18:13 GMT

Hi Everyone,

this is probably a super simple question to answer but I can't seem to figure out how to ask the question (as it is so basic) clearly to find an answer..

I have several Drafting Views. With a detail-drawing in each. In the drafting view I am now (manually) typing (with normal text) the name of the detail which is the same as the View Name. I always want the text to correspond with the View Name. Can I make this in an easier way? Just link the text in the drafting view to the name of the same view?

Thanks in advance!

Can you solve your problems by means of View Titles?

Also, you can create any View Title family according to your needs.

I mean, why do you make manual titles in a drafting view, when this title is automatically created, when you place drafting view on a sheet?

Thanks, yeah. I guess that is the case. Im just currently building a detail library and kind a thought it looked cool with the text there, somewhat more orederly but perhaps it isn't.. Thanks anyway!

Also, if you have something like pic-attached, do it like I show in the pic-attached.

Thanks, that is how I do it now. It does the job but I guess your first answer is the "correct" one.
