I’d be interested to hear how you get on. I really like the idea of callouts / keynotes coming from a central database. I’ve tried using the database within vectorworks but it didn’t work out for me. Hadn’t thought of using a worksheet. May give that a try.
As for my initial post - what I am doing is rather unconventional and pretty much a one off.
I have a 20 page PDF plan which I have no control of and gets updated weekly. Rather long winded I know, but I import it to a design layer, then have created a sheet layer for each page. In the annotation layer I add callouts with a unique identifier for each power location - which relates to a large google spreadsheet.
As each label is unique, I wanted a way if creating a list of all the callouts in the file so I can check they are all present.
All a bit long winded I know but the best way I could think of doing it
Thanks again for your help
