I have seen this has come up 5 years ago: https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/building_analysis___design/f/aecosim-speedikon-forum/97882/back-referencing-sheet-names-on-drawing-titles?ReplySortBy=CreatedDate&ReplySortOrder=Descending
Has there been any update on this?
We are using Aecosim Connect Edition Update 1 (10.01.00.36) shortly upgrading to update 4.
I haven't been able to get the bubbles to cross reference properly.
For example:
Section E created from sheet: #####-###-A-DPL-####-101200 and placed it on sheet: #####-###-A-DSE-####-202300
So, as you can see above the cross-referencing only works in one direction.
If I try and manually correct the title bubble on 202300 I lose all the other fields and have to re-path them all.
As you can see above, when the Drawing Link/General/File Name is updated the fields are lost from the drawing identifier, name and detail scale.
And then these must be re-done manually – opening the text editor by double clicking on text, deleting the existing field, re-typing ‘drawing identifier’ making this new text a field, 'by element properties', selecting the title bubble and selecting drawing Identifier from general tab of the Fields editor. Then repeating the process for the name and the detail scale. To finally have the correct format.
This is a long winded approach and very difficult to control on a large project.
Is there something i am missing here?

Hi Peter,
I'm not aware of any changes in this particular area of the product, though I can't say I've looked. I'm assuming the wiki referenced in that thread did not work for you either?
Hey Steve thanks for getting back..
The wiki doesn't help in this case - this should be an automated feature as it's basic drafting practice to cross reference plans/sections/elevations/details. It doesn't explain why all the fields drop either when I change the link path.
Can I open a ticket to have this addressed in the next update?

Yes, I would suggest filing a new Service Request with support requesting this ability. However, if and when it might be added I cannot say.
