SHEETMAX VALUE IN TITLEBLOCK

[mattheath]

Right, I have control drawings and plan/schedule drawings in one project, total of 32 sheets.
All sheets use the same attributes block in the titleblocks. On the plan/schedule sheets the sheetmax value fills in as 32, on the control drawings sheets the sheetmax value fills in as 032.
Why?

Check the sheet number assignments. If the sheet numbers in the drawings
contain a leading zero the sheetmax will pick up this syntax as well.

There are sheet values, %s, for the control drawings and they are three digits, but not with a leading 0, they start at 202.
Why would these two values be tied together? They are not necessarily dependant upon each other.

Hmmm...Not sure without seeing the drawings.

In my previous message I said that the %s value and the sheetmax value are not necessarily dependant upon each other. In fact those two values are not related in any way.
On a different project the PM wanted the total sheet # preceded by the discipline designator, E for electrical. So I modified the sheetmax value for that project to read E23 instead of the default 23, and it worked.
So I thought I would try it here. I replaced the default 32 with 32. Yes, I checked the checkbox for sheet maximum, then highlighted the default value of 32 and typed 32. It worked.
Then I thought I had better check it, so went back into the Title Block Update dialog box, checked the sheet maximum check box, didn't change the value, it still said 32, no leading zero or space, and ran the title block update project wide. It changed the control drawings back to 032.
The previous project sheet numbers were only two digits, there was no problem of a leading zero on that project, this project's sheet numbers are three digits. Sheetmax is picking up the three digit syntax from the sheet number.
It should not be, those two values are not related in any way.
I am using ACADE 2008, fix this. Not in the next version, not tomorrow, NOW. We paid full price for this program, there is no excuse for this sloppy programming. I will be submitting this error through the subscription center so this will be escalated.
