Linking a callout to a view that is already created

Anonymous

I created an enlarged floor plan view by duplicating a view and changing the scale. I then proceded to place elevation tags, etc from that enlarged view.  I now am realizing that I need to place callouts on the parent view, but do not want it to actually create a new view for me, but rather link to the view I created my duplicating. Is there a way to create a callout bubble on the parent view and link it to the enlarged floor plan view that I have already created? That way I do not have to lose the elevations and keynotes that I have spent time sizing and placing. 

 

I am very new to Revit, and any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks!

Yes, there is. 

 

Create a callout, but before drawing the callout in the view, click "Reference other view" on your options bar. Then select the view you wish to reference from the drop down list.

Thanks for making this video @chrisplyler, its really clear. How did you make this video with timeline, settings, product links? It's really nice, and i'd love to make tutorials with these settings:

It was created using Autodesk Screencast software, which has been discontinued since earlier this year due to reasons.

Too bad, that would be a great tool for teaching and making tutorials.

Yeah they need to save the online cloud storage space for BIM360 Collaboration so that it can be outage at a greater capacity.
