sheet. Not only does this save you the time it would take to visually inspect
each sheet, it can also save paper and wear and tear on your printer.
A View List schedule is constructed with the same tools as a Sheet List
schedule, except only parameters that apply to views can be used in the
schedule. Unfortunately, not all view parameters can be scheduled, but
there are many that are useful for project management. When working in
a project that includes phases, a View List schedule can be a useful tool for
ensuring that views are set to the proper phase and have the proper phase
filter applied.
To create a View List schedule that shows only views that are placed on
sheets, you can use a filter. If you use the Sheet Number parameter as a
filter with the Does Not Contain rule and leave the value blank, the expected
result would be a schedule that shows only those views that are placed on a
sheet.
Normally, you would apply a filter to remove all the scheduled items that
do not meet your filter requirements. However, using these settings actually
removes all views that meet the requirements of the filter, causing your
schedule to list all the views that have no value for the parameter.
Note Block
A
Note Block schedule
is part of an annotation family that is used in your
project. Note Block schedules are very useful for managing plan notes on
your construction documents as an alternative to keynoting. As note
annotations are placed in a view, they can be given a description, and then a
Note Block schedule can be created to list the descriptions of each instance
of the annotation.
Figure 7.42
shows the properties of a note annotation
family used for plan notes.
