Sheet Name Variable

It seems so simple, but...

Is there a way to add the sheet name to the title block of drawings with a variable?

I can add the sheet number, revision and size but not the name. Why not?

Thank you,

Derek Backus

You may want to ask in the Customization group.

Did you ever find a way to do this?  I would like to be able to do it, too.

Are you on subscription, by chance?  If so, you have access to iLogic.  I think that iLogic is going to be the way to go.

 

If you don't you will have to write a VBA macro that will pull the sheet name into an iProperty that the title block can see.

No, no subscription.  We take a very "thrifty" approach to CAD software!

 

I think I will start learning VBA, though.  It's rare for a month to go by when I don't want to do something that I can't do without it.
