View Title Instance Parameters

View Title Instance Parameters

Instance Parameters in custom View Titles

We would like to be able to include a graphic scale bar inside the view title.  In order to do this right now, we need to create many different view title types.  One for each scale setting.  If we could create and use an instance parameter in the view titles, we could set one type and then select which graphic scale is displayed based on view scale.  Another possible use would be to be able to put a north arrow in the view title and be able to set it's rotation on sheet with an instance parameter.  Having instance parameters could open up a lot of possibilities. 

 

Just do a search for view titles in this Ideas forum and you'll see there are a lot of great ideas out here. Here are just a couple:

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones @sasha.crotty   If possible, could you please combine this new idea with this archived idea of the same thing:  https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/wrap-view-title-to-second-line-within-project/idi-p/63714...  I'd love to get those votes if I could!  Thanks!!

 

BTW, is it OK that I tag you both, or should I only tag one or the other of you?  You two seem to be the hardest working folks over there, so I always know at least one of you will get it done!  🙂  Thanks! 

Hi, @Ric_Weber !

 

Thank you for the kind words! Feel free to tag me in items like this. We prefer not to combine active Ideas with archived Ideas, simply because it creates confusion with the comments (specifically the one that says it has been Archived). That being said, the Idea that you linked is still Gathering Support, and seems to be a bit different than this Idea. Is that the correct one?

 

Thanks again!

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones, Thank you!  Dang it, I copied the wrong one.  The correct archived one is https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/instance-parameters-in-custom-view-titles/idi-p/6844454.  Is it possible to un-archive that one, delete @sasha.crotty's "rude" comments (j/k Sasha!) and then merge them?  Just a thought. 

The linked idea comments suggest making the north angles (true and project) parameters visible to the view title, that would be awesome.
