public static void ChangeReferencedView(
  Document document,
  ElementId referenceId,
  ElementId desiredViewId
)

The document containing the elements.

referenceId ElementId

The reference view that will be changed to refer to a different View.

ArgumentException

referenceId is not a valid reference view. -or- desiredViewId is not a view that can be referenced by referenceId.

Remarks

Reference views may not refer to a View in which their own graphics (such as the section or callout graphics) will appear. If the reference view’s ViewFamilyType is not appropriate for the new View, Revit will automatically change the ViewFamilyType during regeneration. This typically occurs when the referenced view is changed from a model View to a drafting View or vice-versa.
