Show the Representation View name in the drawing

You have created several Representation Views in your assembly.

You open a new drawing and create one view of your assembly and you want to display the name of the Representation View you have selected.

 
For doing this:

1. Download and unzip this ILogic Rule to your local drive.
2. Open your drawing.
3. Create an iLogic rule copying the script from the file you have downloaded.
4. When you run the rule, it creates or updates a drawing custom property called "ActiveViewrep“.
5. Include the property in your title block (or to any drawing text).
6. Add the rule to an Event Trigger (i.e.: Before Save Document).
7. (Optionally) save the drawing as Template to avoid having to repeat the procedure for any new drawing.

Additional notes.

• The rule finds the Representation View used on the assembly in the first view on the first sheet of 
  the drawing.
• You will see the correct result only when you run the rule manually or when you save the drawing (see step 6).

Just a small note that due to a defect in the API the method explained here only works for associative view representations. I thought it was important to mention this to avoid glazed eyes and frowns.
