Hello everyone. I just want to know how I can link only the sheet number of a layout as a field in title block. For eg: If I have a layout named "A-001 PROPOSED SETTING OUT LAYOUT", I just want only the sheet number 'Á-001' to be added as a field in Title block. I know that using ctab in field we can link the layout name to a field, but it shows the name of the sheet also. But I want only the sheet number.Kindly post your suggestions. Thank you

Hi @hussicharmssf 

It's possible. In the title block type in the command "field" chose the field category select "other" and field names " diesel expression" and type this in diesel expression: $(substr,$(getvar,ctab),1,5) 

and then click on ok. Hope this helps :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:

You do not indicate if your sheet numbering will always have  a length of 5 characters?  how would revisions be indicated? 'A-001-01' ? If there will always be a blank space between the number and the rest of the sheet name, that may be a better way to go rather than changing the expression based on a variable length sheet number.
