Photo Reference Other View?

My offices uses the generic annotation below for our photo reference call outs. You can see in the "Properties" bar you are able to enter the sheet and detail number for the photo being referenced.

I would like to make/find a photo call out which is able to "Reference Other View", similar to a reference section or call out. I.e. If I move 1/A9.00 to sheet A9.10, the annotation with automatically update itself. Does anyone know if this is possible?

 

Thanks

 

Clark

You might be able to get to where you want to go by using View Reference/Family.

As @barthbradley said you could do this all in the view reference family, the problem would be that view references do not support instance parameters so you would not be able to rotate the arrow by itself with an instance. This would mean you would need a new view reference callout type for all the different angles.

 

It may be better to do this as a view reference for just the circle portion and then a detail item with a scale factor for the arrow that you can place at the same location and rotate whichever way you want.
