How to add sheet number to more then one attribute?

[rblack2LEKD]

How do I add the sheet number to more than one attribute on my title block?

I am thinking this needs to be done using the User-Defined settings of the Title Block Setup. What do I type to access the sheet number? This seems like it should be a very straight forward thing, but I can't seem to find the correct syntax for what to enter.

I've tried;

%S

%S value

getvar SHEET

getvar SHTNUM

SHEET

What am I missing?

Thanks!

If you already have the sheet number attribute definition (block editor), create another attribute with the same name. When you insert the block in the drawing and use the enhanced attribute editor dialog box, one of the attributes should be red as it is a duplicate.

You can literally copy and past an attribute if you want it in more than one place on your title block.

Thanks for the replies, I will elaborate on why I want to have the sheet number in more than one attribute.

I'm using X-Y grid referencing, and have letter along the top, and numbers along the side. I want the numbers on the side to have the following format (this is for sheet # 20)

02000, 02001, 02002, 02003, and so on...

020 is the sheet number and the next two digits are the line number

How do I build this into my template so that when I add a new or renumber sheets the vertical reference numbers on the left side of the page automatically update to reflect the new sheet number?

What I am trying to do is make each one an attribute, have the sheet number as the first portion and then the line number be a constant (00, 01, 02...).

What is the way to achieve this?

Thanks!

Well there might be a more complicated way of doing it, but I would still copy and past the Sheet# attribute in each of those locations. Then put the other #'s close up to them so they flow well.

For instance,  Sheet# attribute (020) then the count as text, would be like so... 

Sheet#00 

Sheet#01 

Sheet#02

Something like this (left text as attribute right text as just normal text). But you'll have to play around will how close together the lift and right text will need to be in order to look nice.

But now that you know a way of doing this I will point out that you might not need to do this at all. I am unsure why exactly you are wanting this but I am assuming you want it for cross-referencing. If so then I will point out that ACADE you can simply add the Sheet# in the cross-reference so that it points you to the right sheet and then you just have to find the reference letter and number on that sheet. To do so go under Project Properties and Cross-References and then just add "%S in the Cross-References Format.

Yes this works, thanks!

I understand the cross reference can have the page number added into it, but I like to see the vertical row identifiers with the page number as well.

Appreciate the responses.
