Auto-text with the model name

Hey there1 its me again with Layout experiments haha

I am idving into autotext, and as i use a template model, i inserthed the autotext “file name”

but every time i send a model to layout, this auto text says “empty” (Senza titolo, i use it in italian), after i save the new layout file it updates, BUTTTTT

sometimes i use different models on each page, so it would be very useful, to have an auto text that updates with the model name im using on that page, is there a way?

Away from the computer, but I don’t remember if you can get the model name from a leader text over a viewport? You would have to get tricky with transparent leader line.

You can insert FileName as autotext into a label but the leader will have to be attached to the model. If you change the model you will likely have to edit the leader to anchor its arrow end to the geometry in the new model.
