Design View Name on Drawings

[paulZKN98]

Hi inventor world.  Is there an out of the box way to insert my Design View (Representation View) name into my text box?   I am using Inventor 2022.  I found this issue brought up in a 2004 post but was never solved.  Any suggestions would be appreciated! 

Thanks,

Paul

Do you need this for ALL views on all sheets? only select ones,etc..?

Here is some starting code to simply go through all views/sheets and set the view label to the design view rep of that view.

Dim oSheets As Sheets
Dim oSheet As Sheet
Dim oViews As DrawingViews
Dim oView As DrawingView
Dim oModelDoc As Document
Dim oViewRep As String

oSheets = ThisDoc.Document.Sheets

For Each oSheet In oSheets
	oViews = oSheet.DrawingViews
    	For Each oView In oViews
			oView.ShowLabel = True
			oModelDoc = oView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
			oViewRep = oView.DesignViewRepresentation
			oView.Label.FormattedText = "Design View Rep: " & oViewRep
    	Next
Next

Thanks for the reply @mcgyvr.  I would only need this intermittently,  so not on every page.  Only in instances where the model/assembiles are not structured well enough to just drop a view from the highest level assembly. 

 Thankyou for the code but I'm not experienced enough to know what to do with this without fumbling around, this is for the VBA Editor correct? (getting better at VBA is on my Wishlist!)

Thanks again

@paulZKN98 This is just "ilogic" and does not use the VBA editor.. You can just use the "ilogic browser" which you can turn on going to the "View" tab and in the "User Interface" dropdown select the "Ilogic" browser and it will show up next to your model browser ..

We could make some code where you simply run the code and it prompts you to select a view and it would automatically set the view label as needed. Would that be useful?  If so just let us know exactly what you want the view label to say/what properties it should display,etc...

But NO.. There is no "out of the box" for that..
