Text Notes of differing colors

[pkolarik]

Is it possible to have Revit 2018 set up in such a way that any text notes that are typed in the "sheet" are one color (say, blue) and any text notes that are typed in the "view" are another color (say, black)?

That would make it alot easier to tell if you're typing notes into the sheet or the view......

edit: I don't want to have two different text types, just one type that will switch colors automatically if it's in a sheet (i.e. - not governed by a view template) or if it's in a view (governed by a view template).

Do you mean in the title block family?

The only way that could automate that is by using a dynamo script that checks all your text notes in all your views and automatically overrides text graphics in view, based on your view type/name.

There is more than one way. Since there aren't any V/G overrides for sheets, one could apply overrides to the views.

This may be the way to go about doing this.

Edit: Upon checking into this, the "text notes" category under "V/G Overrides Annotation" is also greyed out in the view template, just like it is in the sheet's V/G Overrides.
