Its the Little Things - View Titles

Note this small change in 2011 that came directly from customer feedback.  The title of tiled windows has always been: %Project Name%-%View Name%.  This was inverted in 2011 so that when many windows are tiled the view name (most unique item) is last to be truncated.  The specific use case involved reviewing a large number of views such as a set of standard details.  It can often be easier Tile "WT", Zoom All "ZA" and find your view.

This is really helpful. It solves the problem that occurred whe you view the browser in "Not on sheets" mode. Selecting one of the open views highlights in bold, but when using "not on sheets" and is alrady on a sheet, the view name doesn't highlight.

I have a wish about view titles of a different kind...

When you pull a view onto a sheet, the title that is placed underneath needs some more functionality. I would summarize it as follows:

1. Ability to be right or left justified.
2. Ability to pick up the view number from a location grid on the sheet per the National CAD Standard.
3. Ability to have a graphical scale be part of the title symbol.
4. Ability to rotate the view relative to the title. Right now if you rotate the view, the title goes with it.

That is useful. However, I seldom work with tiled views - usually only have one view full screen, so I rely on the view name at the top of the screen. If you notice your snapshot, the name says "Autodesk R..." before it is cut off, so you can't even get the filename, let alone view name. Even on a wide screen, the viewname is usually cut off unless you close "Seek".

It would be much more useful, if it had "Filename, Viewname, Revit Architecture" - dare I suggest it, without "Autodesk". It would also be good if Revit remembers the status of the "Seek" box between sessions - I always close it first thing I do.
