When I place a legend view on my sheet there is no detail number. I've seen some posts that have used custom title tags, but is there a way to get a detail number without building your own tag? I'm trying to convince my office that Revit is a fairly user-friendly program. If people see me building custom items, it might not fly. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have come across this as well. Revit "assumes" that you will place a legend in multiple places and that the view title number is always used as a reference. Therefore, it thinks that you cannot reference to multiple places, so it doesnt give you a view number. You can do one of 2 things: 1-Create a generic family that looks like your view title. Under the element properties type parameters, turn the show view title to NO. Then use your view title family. 2-Create a generic view title number. Place that number in the view title. I prefer the first method because the entire "dummy" view title acts as one if you move it. My firm uses view titles for everything on a sheet = sheet notes, general notes, keynote legends, jpgs of maps, photos, abbreviations, all the various information on the cover sheet and first 2 sheets of a set. So we use this "dummy" view title for a lot of things that are manually placed on the sheet and not taken from a view, legend, or schedule. Keep in mind that you will never make everyone happy. Revit does some things great. It misses on a few things, but so did CAD when it first started. Propose this custom title as a way to title everything or that it allows you to use a legend multiple times as opposed to a work around.
