In the title block, how do i display the next filename?

Hello,
in a project with multiple files is there a way in the title block to display the next file name (001 -> 005 -> 008 -> etc) instead of the progressive sheet number (1 -> 2 -> 3...)?
Thankyou

You must code some lisp to achieve this.

Sorry,

I'm busy these days, I barely read the forum.
I found this, I think that's it, though I didn't check.

It should be changed to display the file name, but I didn't really understand what the request was.

The corresponding functions can be found in the API help in section G - Project Management.
Someone help, I don't have time right now.

Choose the "filename" attribute when setting up your title block/border block, instead of the "sheet" attribute, if I understand what you're asking.  We use both in our title block.
Now if you want to display the "next" file in a series, not the current file, it would take some custom programming.

I have this tree Immagine 2023-06-03 225531.png and i want to visualize the next filename .dwg in the title block, "filename" attribute it's ok but it would be some sort of "next filename" attribute

If you don’t want to do any custom programming, maybe enter the FILENAME as the sheet number, without the file extension.

 

Also assign the Previous Sheet and/or Next Sheet values in Title Block Setup>Drawing Values to write to attributes that you place in your drawing for such values to be shown. I use attributes named PREVSHT and NEXTSHT. I will attach an example.
