How to do auto-numbering in CAD layout?

[m.virdi74J8L]

Gday guys,

I have nearly 200 sheets for putting up a drawing number manually. The number in my template looks like 1427-401 in first sheet, then 1427-402 in second & 1427-403 so on.....

Can you please guide me if i can do any automatic thing so that i don't have to change all the numbers manually.

Also, I couldn't understand how the field or Tcount command works. Can someone please help me on this.

Thanks in advance

Try to work through a document that you can find on the internet that is called "Sheets Happen"

I have just recently worked through it and it is already transforming my workflow.
