Field formula add or subtract from current sheet number

[1wildwes]

Is it possible to create a field with a formula to add or subtract from the current sheet number? This field would be used in plan sheet matchline text. I know you can create a field to do this manually through the Sheet Set manager, but would like to be able to automate it.

Hello!

Yes, you can automate adding or subtracting from the current sheet number in plan sheet matchline text. In AutoCAD's Sheet Set Manager, create a custom property for the current sheet number, then use a "Formula" field type to perform the arithmetic operation. For complex tasks, use Diesel expressions in the Field dialog. Ensure fields are set to update automatically to keep the values current.

Hope this helps!

This is going to take a couple of steps to explain, lets take a look:

1) First we are going to need to get the code for the Field expression, you can copy this code from the bottom.

2) Go into the Other Field Category and select Diesel Expression.  You want to insert this Diesel expression with the field code.   I wanted to show you where to get the field code in step 1 in case you later want to work with something else.

$(+,1,%<\AcSm Sheet.Number \f "%tc2">%)

In my case this returns 2.  You can see the field expression will return +,1,1 because in my case the sheet # is 1.  It evaluates it here.  Let me know if this works for you and if you have any questions.
