When an electrical designer wants to schedule parameters from Generic Annotations, the correct method is to use a Note Block, not a generic schedule. Revit documentation defines this process clearly under Annotation Schedules (Note Blocks):

“Annotation schedules, or note blocks, list all instances of annotations that you can add using the Symbol tool.”

“Creating an Annotation Schedule (Note Block):

Load the generic annotation family or families into your project and place them where desired.

Click View tab ➤ Create panel ➤ Schedules drop-down ➤ Note Block.

In the New Note Block dialog, for Family, select a generic annotation.”

This extract confirms that when working with generic annotation families, Revit requires the use of a Note Block to extract and list their parameters in a schedule. Standard schedules such as Generic Model or Family schedules cannot access data from Generic Annotations since they are annotation-based, not model-based.

In Autodesk Revit, a drafting view is a 2D view that contains detail information not directly associated with the model. When an electrical designer needs to reuse a drafting view from another project (for example, standard details or symbols), the correct method is to use the Insert Views from File command under the Insert tab.

The Autodesk Revit MEP User’s Guide – Chapter 48 “Detailing” (page 1072) describes the process as follows:

“Inserting a Drafting View from Another Project

Click Insert tab ➤ Import panel ➤ Insert from File drop-down ➤ Insert Views from File.

In the Open dialog, select a project file, and click Open.

The Insert Views dialog opens, displaying all the views that are saved in that project.

Select the desired drafting views and click OK.”(Revit MEP User’s Guide, p. 1072)

This command imports the drafting view into the current Revit model while preserving annotations, filled regions, detail components, and text. It ensures that any standard electrical symbols, notes, or schematics created previously can be directly reused without rebuilding the detail from scratch.

If any duplicate type names exist, Revit automatically uses the types and properties from the current project, displaying a warning if necessary.

“Revit MEP creates a new drafting view with all the 2D components and text. If you have duplicate type names, the type name and properties from the current project are used.”

(Revit MEP User’s Guide, p. 1072)

Supporting Documentation Extracts:

“Saving Drafting Views to an External Project

Select a drafting view in the Project Browser.

Right-click the view name, and click Save to New File.”(Revit MEP User’s Guide, p. 1071)

“The saved project can then be used later to insert drafting views into another Revit project using Insert Views from File.”

(Revit MEP User’s Guide, p. 1072)

In Autodesk Revit, when an electrical designer creates a callout view, the software automatically generates a new dependent or independent view based on the selected callout type. However, if a callout is accidentally linked to the wrong or redundant view, the designer can easily reassign it to another existing view without recreating the callout. This can be done using the Reference Other View property in the Properties palette.

According to the Revit MEP User’s Guide (Chapter 47 “Views and Callouts”):

“To link a callout to an existing view rather than creating a new one, select the callout, and under the properties for that element, use Reference Other View to specify the desired target view.”

This means that when the designer selects the callout (in this case, shown as “L0 - Power - Callout 1” in the Project Browser), they can modify the Reference Other View setting from the Properties palette to point to a different, pre-existing detail view or callout view—for example, one showing an enlarged power distribution layout or switchboard detail.

This is the most efficient workflow because:

It avoids recreating or redrawing the callout (unlike Option C).

It preserves all annotation and sheet referencing data.

It ensures alignment and consistency across sheet references.

The Smithsonian Facilities Revit Template User’s Guide reinforces this standard Revit practice:

“When a view reference or callout is incorrectly associated, use the Reference Other View property to redirect the annotation to an existing detail or dependent view.”

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

B. Change its type from the Type Selector: Callout types control annotation style (not the referenced view).

C. Delete and recreate: This is unnecessary and inefficient.

D. Open the callout view and change its type: Callout type cannot be changed directly once created; it’s controlled by view properties.

Therefore, the correct and Revit-recommended approach is Option A: Select the callout and choose a detail view under Reference Other View.
