Keep viewport title in same location from sheet to sheet

I've searched this topic quite a bit and all I find is info on how to align views on sheets with either reference lines or guide grid; but what about aligning the title? I don't like guide grid because it doesn't even snap to my titleblock which means its always slightly off and the title doesn't snap to anything even the guide grid. Am I really supposed to just eye the title into place using some kind of reference? Is there no other way of exactly lining up titles?

No.

My view titles are always to the lower left corner of the sheets or of the detail sheet grids so I can eyeball them close enough.

Thanks for the reply - Do you know why I can't snap to my gridlines like they do in the video in this link?:

When I'm outside the view (in the sheet) and I hover my mouse over my intersecting grid lines, no snaps appear

Okay I managed to snap to a grid lines bubble so I guess that issue is resolved but I can't snap the crop region to anything (guide grid or lines in sheet) - how am I supposed to align the crop regions for each view - with scope boxes?

The only things in the view can snap are levels and right angle grids/ reference planes, not scope boxes, not crop regions, not anything else.

Just discovered that I can double click on crop region and snap the region to reference planes. This is what I've been looking for!

Working in Revit 2020 :

 

1) Create a new Legend and place it on the first sheet (without moving the View Title) exactly where you would want the main view titles aligned, lengthen the View Title line as required.

2) Copy and paste aligned to all Sheets (Views) requiring to align View titles.

3) Add the main view(s) to the next Sheet (aligned to Guide Grid etc, using Bonus tools)

4) Open Each sheet, select + drag the View Title only and hover around the Legend View Title, it will find an Auto-Align reference to the new Legend View Title created and will snap to the Legend View Title, lengthen and it will snap to the Legend View Title Length also.

5) Delete Legend from Browser.

To have the view titles on the same place I found this Dynamo script by Johnpierson it worked amazing for me!  😄
