Great tutorial! I'd like to see how you manage your revision ☁ and markups together with the transmittal set. 🎂

I don't understand how at 13:43 the views on the layout automatically numbered themselves??? Did I miss something obvious?

I had the same issue as you with the autotext, (mentioned around 8 minutes). Rather than moving the zones, I found that if you select all of the zones and then edit the reference ID or name and close the settings it seems to force a refresh, which updates the view map. Hope it works for you too!

Many thanks for the informative tutorial! I have a quick question, if you don't mind. When I add my views to my layout, they seem to be placed outside the grid even though I've followed your instructions closely. Could you possibly shed some light on what I may be doing incorrectly? 😄

John, do you dimension/label those I.Es. inside the view or on the layout sheet? Cause if you do it in the view the fit to drawing will make them bigger. Do you take that into account or how do you manage annotations in there?
