Standard sheet notes

[drichardsonHB7WX]

Hi,

I have a set of standard general notes that differ for each sheet (Eg. Elevation, Floor plan, site plan).

They don't tag anything so I set them each up as a legend.  It works ok, but as my template evolves and/or I need to update them on each job it is a pain, as I need to copy and paste the text into each legend. 

I have now considered maybe should they be familes then I can just drag a new version into the file and they they will update.

Am I missing something? and/or is there a better way?     

thanks

Dave

So you want the same notes on multiple (i.e. multiple elevation sheets) sheets and they should be the same  "thing " just duplicated so that any edits propagate? 

I don't have a solution. I ended up to just re-write my general notes so on a mechanical general sheet they say what applies to ALL M-sheets and I don't have to repeat them. That seemed most space efficient and resolves the problem you seem to have. I try to avoid any duplicate information. but if someone comes up with a good way to resolve your problem, I'm all ear.

Sure you can use Generic Annotation Families for those.

Just following on from my earlier post.  

I setup my sheet notes as legends. As i have separage group of notes for floor plan, elevation etc.  I have found that now I have several project underway it can be cumbersom if they need to be updated the addtional inclusions or Building code reference changes.  I'm thinking they may be better changed to Familes as per the previous poster.  They I can just dump them in the project and they will update all the existing ones.  Thoughts?

You could work out the notes in Word, publish to PDF and link the PDF into multiple projects, then update as you like. Editing and formatting in Word might be easier for something like "standard notes".
