Can anyone tell me how to edit the view reference tag? I've assigned a view reference tag to a matchline, but it's labeled as REF and I want to change it to the proper sheet number and view. I'm working in Revit 2009. I've searched the help file and it was no help.

If you have split a view using a matchline and dependent views, when you place the views on a sheet, the reference will update automatically.

I have my matchline and my two dependant views on each sheet, but it still shows Ref?? Why is that?

This is really pretty straight forward. Did you read your H E L P searching for matchline? It shows how to create the dependent views, then place the matchline. And just like most call-out / view tags, you can modify the matchline callout.

Yes I did read the help dialog first. I have three views, one overall, and TWO DEPENDANT views. It still shows as 'ref' and not the sheet reference. I think I'm doing it the correct way. Unless I'm missing something. I open my overal view, turn crop regions on. Then go to View tab>Sheet Composition panel>Matchline. I'm then in sketch mode. I've tried drawing a straight line where both dependent views overlap. Also tried to draw a straight line with each end sticking into the dependant crop region boundary. Then I go to Annotate Tab>Tag Panel>View Reference. When I go to place it, the crop regions highlight and I can't place it. I cannot highlight the matchline, but when I try to click on it that's when it places the tag that says: "Ref". They are both on their appropriate sheets. What did I miss? Thanks, Lorne

It will display "Ref" when you haven't applied a "View Reference Tag" for the system family to use. - Select the tag and go to element properties.
- Edit
- From the drop down pick your loaded view reference tag
- OK
If you don't have a view reference tag family loaded, load the default one from the metric or imperial library or create your own. HTH.

That worked! Thank you! I really do apologize for my stupid questions on these forums. But I get stuck and no one in the office can help. I appreciate the time all of you take to help others here. WWHub & Mr. Spot I know you have probably been the one to help me the most. Thanks. Lorne
