Revit2010 I've been looking though threads and haven't found a good workaround for this problem. We have structural, mechanical and electrical consultants that are working in Revit. They're sending us files which we've linked into our architectural model. What do we do when we want to keynote (meaning the text shows up in our keynote legend) elements from these linked files? Even if the entire link was set to one keynote where the text would read 'SEE STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS'. There must be a workaround out there. Anyway?

There is a key note in the downloads that is not tied to any parameter label, its just text that you can fill in.

yeah that's an option but that still doesn't put a value in our keynote legend

We are working with this problem as well. Here are a couple of thoughts. - When you keynote in the linked file and use link by view, you can see the keynote but you don't have anything for your legend. You could do an export the legend to CAD from the link and import ... PITA
- You can keynote the link in your file... Use "user". These won't be automatic.... still a PITA
BTW - Did you vote on the AUGI website for what changes we want? Keynoting links was one of them and my #1.

Thanks WWHub, I'll be sure to vote. Are you able to tag your links with user keynotes?

You need one element in the view that you own. We have an invisible line family that we use if we do this. Once you tag that using user / free end, you can move the keynote anywhere. You can use the same ILF for different user keynotes..... I hate cheating like this but it works. We alsoe add IDF (Invisible detail families) to drafting views for tags.

That's how we handle it at our firm as well. Either using detail components, or an invisible line or somthing in the component to tell us what keynote to use.
