Is there a way to hide sections not on current sheet yet?

Im currently still setting up filters with 'section sheet number does not equal 0001' or similar for each sheet and hiding them.  Would be nice if there was a way of doing a single filter along the lines of 'section sheet number does not equal current sheet' instead of creating a separate filter for each sheet I want to apply them on.

Are there any methods of doing this i've not seen?

Is that for hiding in Revit or hiding when print/PDF export?

Both really.

 

I am aware of the check box for not printing unreferenced view tags but I am looking to also hide ones which do not have the view on the current sheet.

You would need a Filter for this as you have stated the other method is using the Print Settings

Create a View Template just for this > Select all View in the Project Browser > Right Click > Apply View Template (Note Apply not Assign so does not link it to the View)

Thanks for the response but this method just hides section tags which so not have its view on any sheet at all.

I often need to set up a sheet so that the only view tags which are displayed on that sheet are those which have the view on that particular sheet.  It is simple enough to do with filters but if I had 50 sheets in a project this could mean 50 corresponding filters.  I was wondering if there was a way to just create 1 filter (or other method) which could be applied to all.

I have seen some Dynamo Scripts for this, the only way i could think of a single filter is when a Section get dropped onto a sheet it gets a View Reference Number so if this is Blank (not on a sheet) it is turned off?
