Is there is anyway to read the original coordinates from attached models into a layout sheet? That option will enable us to do complete drawing annotations in LAYOUT instead of having a hybrid of annotations in the model+layout. This will improve the drawing quality and be more productive. Hopefully someone has a method now to do it.. I'll greatly appreciate it if you can share. Otherwise, it may be a good thing to improve for the future. thanks in advance.
We always bring the sheet to the model in our layouts, scaling the border up to the drawing. As long as we have no Plan over Plan sheets, the sheets are in true coordinates and can be labeled directly.
Another alternative is to set an auxiliary coordinate system from the reference file. I have not tried this, but I believe it should work.
