Why haven't anyone suggested groups? Simply group the annotation, then any change to the group will be replicated through all instances... Dependent views are not meant for the purpose you suggest. Its purpose is to break up large floor plates into sections to fit them on sheets at workable scales. Group your annotations, name them, then duplicate the view with detailing and change the scale.

Chris, I use scope boxes to break floor plates into sections. I have used dependent views for this too, but scope boxes work better for multi-story buildings, where I use one tall scope box to cover the same area of each floor. Besides, dependent views are more flexible than the grouped annotation method because I have the flexibility to hide or reposition annotation in a dependent view. If it's grouped annotation, all symbols will maintain the same position and visibility. I think that the purpose of dependent views is not completely defined, but I do know that others on our project team are using them for addendum also.

" ....................they are not nearly as powerful as I would like. I use detail lines on my floor plan to indicate cabinets, kitchen equipment, and other details. These are lost in callout plans. They all come through on dependent duplicate plans. I would just like to be able to add notes, more dimensions, elevation marks, etc. to a larger scale plan that will "update" if either it or if the original plan is changed. I can have a different scale on my reflected ceiling plans, why not on "dependent duplicates?" " I also would like to see the detail be able to be transferred, but I know why that they don't. Its basically like this, Revit is designed to place the most detail a the larges scale. So, If I draw a section and then blow up part of that section, naturally I would have more "detail" on the larger scale. I current use Copy and Paste Aligned to transfer any detail components and text.

Wouldn't model lines solve the problem of your detail not showing up at the larger scaled view?

Model lines are useful but they also show up in 3D view. Detail components are 2D families and are very useful.

Does anyone know how to keep the dependent view callout from showing up? They create a second callout that overlaps the original view callout. Dependent views also make a visible view box on the parent view if they have a different crop region. I can hide these by element, but it would be nice if I could prevent them from ever showing up in the first place.

Is it a problem for the model lines to show up in 3D? I usually place them on an appropriate workset and turn it off in 3d views or all views by default. Sometimes I need to see model lines in 3D.
