Layout name as Field variable for page number.

[jenneferw]

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to use the 'Layout name' as a field variable for a page #. I am setting up a dynamic title block and would like my page numbers to generate and match my layout name.

Edit the layout tab so it will be the page number, e.g. 01, 02, A101, A102, A103, etc. The page number in your titleblock should be an attribute and you can populate the attribute using a field. System Variable=>ctab.

Thanks, I knew it had to be in the System Variable somewhere. This is exactly what I was looking for!

Or you can base your page numbering also on the layout order (not name) - see PageOf:
