Hello Group.
I´m wondering how can I insert a text field that "calls" automatically the saved file path of my current proyect. Something like in Autocad with MT > right click > insert field...

 

Thanks

There is a way but is an only be placed on Sheet Views - I would recommend creating a Generic Annotation Family and set the Family Category & Parameter's to Title Block

Then Create a Label > pick the  File Path Parameter

File Save As > Load into Project

 

Many have this added to their Title Block already when loaded into Revit.

Alternatively you could create a Shared Parameter and call out this Field and add other Categories

What would be your purpose for having it available in Draft view?
