Automatic Sheet Numbering

RRomer — Wed, 03 Aug 2016 17:22:45 GMT

Is there a VBA routine available that will automatically display (update) the sheet number and total number of sheets in a set on each drawing sheet in the set?

i.e. SHEET "#" OF "#". If so, how would I incorporate it into the sheet format?

Hi RRomer,

This can be done automatically without any VBA. You would edit your title block and use Inventor's built in Sheet Properties > Sheet Number and Drawing Properties > Number of Sheets as shown:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

You should be able to do it with Iproperties.. with Drawing properties, where it'll update automatically for you...

Thanks Curtis, I've been told by our CAD Dept. it would take a lot of research and we don't have the resources for that at this time. I knew it was possible since I had seen it in use at a previous company and SolidWorks has been doing it for years. Anyway I did some checking on my own and found exactly what you've presented here. It works well and does exactly what I need. Now if I can get them to incorporate it into our default formats all will be A LITTLE MORE RIGHT WITH THE WORLD.

Thanks for your quick reply ... problem solved (sort of)

an update to a titleblock would be about 5 minutes to add this ...

it's already there ...
