Retaining viewport & callout relationship.

[George K]

Hi

Is there a way of retaining the viewport relationship with the callout tag if you decide to move your viewport to another sheet at a later stage.

So i create a detail viewport from my plan and add the callout. I place viewport on Sheet A. I decide at a later stage to move the viewport to Sheet B, I go back to my plan and i notice that my callout, instead of updating the reference, just disappears from the plan.

Thanks

I believe if you use the "Create Detail Viewport" command it will update automatically. I haven't done it a lot but that's what I recall.

Hi,

After a bit of playing around i think i have found the answer.

The temptation is to cut/copy the viewport, as i have been doing, which then looses the relationship with the callout tag (i.e the number does not change to correspond with the sheet)

However, if you click on the viewport and change the layer it on (in the OIP) to the sheet layer you want it to go ...tadaa! result. The tag changes to show the corresponding sheet.
