Custom Sheet Number Attribute definition

Hello!

 

I have a title block for sheet number

However, i also have 10 sheets outside of the CAD file to be joined together, so instead of 1, the sheet number should start with 11

 

if it is the former, it is quite easy using the SheetNumber 

the latter needs DIESEL Expression but i dont know how to call this SheetNumber variable: 

something like 
$(+, 10, SheetNumber)

thank you in advance!

It can be done, but it involves some kind of programming. You can do it in LISP; break up the file name in three parts, gather the block insert containing the attributes to change and cycle through those inserts to change the attribute values. 

Lee Mac has a bunch of samples on how to change attributes.

Can't find a sample on how to split the file name....

Have you considered using Sheet Sets? They can number sheets taken from multiple drawings and even create an index reference for them on your cover sheet.
