Auto Numbering across Multiple Layouts

JerVanK — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 10:08:26 GMT

I work on several collaborative projects where I will have to send my plans to the architect for a submittal. Offen I'll be giving my page number near the that time. i.e my sheets are 301 to 320 out of 350 for the project. At that time I need to go every layout and add / renumber the # of # sheet count.

Is there an easy way to setup a field for the first # without having to visit each layout tab.

I'm typical run a sheetset because I have several files I'm working with.

No. You would have to set it up before hand.

Consider using a FIELD to reference the sheet number on the sheet set manager (right click).

Consider reading the articles: Mastering AutoCAD Sheet Sets

I'm already using this to setup the sheet numbering as in FP-1.1, FP-1.2 etc. As appose to page numbering.

@JerVanK ,

Consider using something not used, like "Current Sheet Description" - from the Sheet Properties.

Not the answer I was hoping for but this will work. I wish there were more options edit in the Rename and Renumber to adjust.
