Recreate call-outs on separate plan

1

Hi Everyone

Is it possible and has anyone done this before?

we have a General Arrangement Plan, which has floor plan callouts on it. This General Arrangement plan is too busy so we need a separate plan ( Duplicate the Gen Arr. Plan), that only shows the Floor Plan Callouts that were originally drawn on it.

Is there a way that Dynamo can create a copy of the original Callouts, Reference them correctly and place them on the Duplicated General Arrangement plan?

This would save our team loads of time.

Their current workflow is to:

Duplicate the floor plan
Edit the sketch boundary of the Floor Plan Callouts
Go to the duplicated plan
Create floor plan callout by sketch but first reference the original
Paste the copied Callout sketch lines

Any help will be much appreciated!!

Sounds doable and will likely require some Python. You’d have to:

  1. Duplicate the plan.
  2. Collect the callouts on the original plan.
  3. For each callout on the original…
    a. Get the boundaries and view.
    b. Create a new referencing callout on the new plan.
