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.

Yes, it would work much better if you could get a field coordinate to the end of the leader or in this case the association point the end of the leader connecting to.
not worth it dont work in lay out use activate via the ref manager and work in model space with annotation scale set
then layout model ( paperspace equivalent ) should fix font sizes etc..

This method from Inga works very well.
Unknown said: Yes, as mentioned by CadCop this is done by definining an ACS from the reference. To to that, open your sheet and ensure your references are attached correctly. Navigate to the Auxiliary Coordinates dialog and choose Define ACS (Aligned by Reference). Refer to the prompts and select the reference. Also, change the name from Unnamed to something of value. To use this for labeling, open the Drawing Scale dialog, turn on the Lock Auxilary Coordinate System button and choose / set the active ACS. Finally, choose the Label Point tool and it will automatically use the ACS coordinates.

That is no true. There is no limits in autocad.
