Hi,
Is it possible to make an attribute or a field in a template with page numbering for layouts?
Is it possible to make an attribute or a field in a template with the name of the layout?
Thanks
Louis
Hi,

IMHO not without development, because AutoCAD has no property "page number".
>> Is it possible to make an attribute or a field in a template with the name of the layout?
you can show the current layout when using CTAB sysvar to be shown.

Watch out for multiple layout tabs when using fields.
Hi,
>> Watch out for multiple layout tabs when using fields.
When you create a field (showign CTAB) in each layout and you activate this layout (or you plot it) the field always shows the correct value.
Or do I understand anything wrong? What do you mean by that "watch out"?

Yes you are correct. I should've said when using publish command.
Most companies i know tends to use publish especially with multiple layout tabs and it always messed up the sheet numbers when using field values.

I just have it tried (only to be more than sure):
But you are right, in previous AutoCAD releases that fields were not updated when plotting. So to be careful and verify that fields after plotting is necessary.
