How to read label coordinates in layout sheet from attached references

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.

  • I actually tried this and it does work, however, you have to create the fields in a text node for each occurrence of coordinate label because it has to be attached to the actual element in  the reference file to show the correct coordinate.  If in a cell or even copied and pasted it would only read the paperspace coordinates, so too cumbersome.
