There is currently no efficient ways to automatically show a Callout in one Layer Set and a normal window label in another; however, there are tons of custom macro solutions that can be utilized to show different labels in different views.  Here's a simple freebie on the house that will show a normal window label in your " Working Layer Set" (note that there is a space before the layer set name being used for the OOB Working Layer Set) and a schedule number in all other layer sets.  Just paste this text into your window labels...

 

%layer_set == " Working Layer Set" ? automatic_label : schedule_number%

Very cool, thank you Alaskan_Son!  I appreciate you taking the time to help.

Thank you all.  I had searched Doors but not Windows and was also hoping it could be controlled across different plan views.  Adding the Schedule Number macro to the Label seems to be the best option for now.  Thanks for helping!

Hello all.  I am struggling with labels on Doors.

In standard plan view, I want to display the old-fashioned door labels (e.g. 3068, 2068, etc.).  This worked fine UNTIL I created a Door Schedule.

On my Door & Window plan view, it is nice to show the Callouts for Doors as they relate to the Schedules.

However back in my standard plan view, I now cannot show the old-fashioned door labels.  It's either the Callouts or nothing.

Does my question make sense or too confusing?!

These are really good suggestions.  I am going to experiment.  I appreciate you taking the time to help.

You are a genius Levin!  That is exactly what it was.  It was set to 5000.  I believe I was trying to thicken them some in the plan views but no matter what I typed in, it had no affect on plan.  But I guess it does have a BIG effect once in Layout.  Thank you again, you saved me!

It is happening to me in X10 using the integrated Adobe Acrobat DC print driver, or direct to Adobe.

It is only my legends, which are grouped under a single layer before sending to layout.  They appear fine in layout but you can quickly see in the print preview that the backgrounds on all of them are black.  And oddly the rectangles in the plan are shown as rounded corner boxes in PDF, filled with black.

Pg 2 and 3 of attached PDF show the results.

Even odder, I brought up an old plan and created a new layout and it does not happen.  I can't figure it out!
