Associating drawing views to grids on title blocks or sheets

[brianwclayton1969]

I have created a grid on my title block or sheet and I want to associate a drawing or view to that grid location when I place it in the sheet and so the drawing number will change to the grid. Is that possible or just associate the drawing or view to the grid location. I will take any part of it.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

You can snap to the Grid.

View numbers are based on the order the views placed on sheet unless you renumber them afterward. There is no correlation between the sheet/titleblock grid and the view numbers.

Thanks. I have a client that uses grids to layout multiple views that have no bearing on other sheets just a single sheet when bringing in views but the drawing number associates with the grid. (see attached)

Thanks for your assistance.

Ah, you are talking about Titleblock Border Reference Grids, not Revit Guide Grids.  So, are you saying that these are Revit views, and that they are "reading" and reporting the Titleblock zone they are placed in?  Interesting. Can he not tell you how he is able to do that?

Your client manually renumbered the views to match the grid numbers.

The drawing I sent was a screen shot from my client in AutoCAD from their titleblock (trying to keep my client private). When they bring in their views to a grid it renumbers per that grid like D2 or C2 etc. So they wan it to function the same in Revit (go figure).

Now that brings up another question, my grids are NOT equally spaced the top is 6 1/4" grid spaced and the sides are 5 3/4" grid space. Can you make a custom Revit grid?

Thanks for all the assistance

Sounds like a scaling issue.  I can't think of any other explanation for such an odd scale.  But, sure you can create a TitleBlock with Border Ref. Grid.  In fact, I seem to remember a time when they were included in the OOTB library.  Maybe I'm mis-remembering.  But, no matter; it would be easy to make one.  Titleblock is 1:1, so WYSIWYG.  

...out of curiousity, @brianwclayton1969 ;  why do you want 'em?

Barth, I appreciate the responses, I did find something sort of what I'm looking for from another web-cast in 2012, called Grid-Guide, close but no cigar. But I'm still searching. Too answer your question it's not me, my client uses it to reference a location on a drawing grid, I guess it helps keep things organized and neat....idk...

Thanks Brian

Did you ever find a way to reference the drawing name to the location on the sheet grid guide? For example is label is placed on B2 it has that label instead of just "1"
