Set prompted entries to read "Sheet Number" & "Number of Sheets"

[Anonymous]

My Client requires drawings to be submitted in autocad DWG format with specific field/attribute names.

I can achieve this by naming my prompted entries the same as the Field/attribute name.

I need to have a prompted entry "CN" read the  Sheet Property "Sheet Number" and Prompted entry "FN" read Drawing Property "Number of Sheets".

Any help on this matter would be greatfully appreciated.

I didn't understood your question. Can you post some images or upload the file?

 My appoligies for being a little vague on this request.

What I need to do is:

• Capture the current state of the "Drawings Property "Number of Sheets"" & the "Sheet Property "Sheet Number"".
• Once I have this I need to assign this value to 2 x user parameters "FN" & "CN".
• From there I can use these parameters to name 2 x prompted entries. (I can do this).

I hope this clarifies things as I dont have any code to copy and show at the moment.

Regards

Vance.

Hi Vance,

• Capture the current state of the "Drawings Property "Number of Sheets"" & the "Sheet Property "Sheet Number"".
  - You can get that from the Sheets collection property. Sheets.Count and check the index of the sheet you're interested in to get its number - or just get it directly from the Sheet.Name property, where it will be after the colon, e.g. "Sheet:1" 

• Once I have this I need to assign this value to 2 x user parameters "FN" & "CN". 
  - This sampe is for Part Documents but you can access parameters in the drawing in a similar way: http://adndevblog.typepad.com/manufacturing/2012/08/accessing-inventor-parameters.html
  - you could even skip this step and just write the value you got in the previoius step into he prompted entry 

• From there I can use these parameters to name 2 x prompted entries. (I can do this).
  - sounds like this is OK already

Cheers,
