Sheet Set Manager automatic sheet renumber

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have around 150 drawings/layouts linked on one DST and most of them have been assigned random numbers. I have ordered the drawings the way I want but would like the numbers to match that order. How can I renumber these sheets properly without having to go 1 by 1?

I have been googling around for a solution to this problem but cant find anything helpfull without having to buy something that should have been included in autocad 2010 let alone 2017.. Or maybe it is already in 2017 and I don't know about it (if it is, my apologies for the rant).

Cheers

It's not included in 2017.

You'll have to do it 1 by 1, buy a solution, or write your own version in one of the languages supported.

We did the latter back in 2011.

EDIT: Here is a head start on the coding option. There is some source code here available for download.

thx for the prompt reply! 🙂

Well I dont code, the company wont buy it and am very lazy to do it 1 by 1.. Guess I will have to do it anyway.

Is there a specific reason why that has never been implemented in Autocad? is no one at all using the sheet set manager? I would have thought that would be the easiest upgrade to Autocad but maybe there just isn't any motivation for them to do it.

I wanted to use it as batch plotting / etransmiting a whole project out of it will significantly speed our workflow but maybe there is a better way to do that. Anyone?

Thanks again!

Cheers

oh sorry, forgot to say that the c3dr program does not work. I enabled it through netload but autocad cant find any C3DR alike command. It might not be compatible with 2017 version.

There's an inexpensive 3rd party program that can do this for you in the future. Once installed it take just a minute to renumber the entire sheet set.  It's well worth the small cost if you work with large sets of drawings......http://jtbworld.com/ssmpropeditor

the link to the " source code here available for download. is broken, do you have another source?

If you mean the original code writer for the author you can search in google using my nickname "jtm2020hyo" and "ss-renumber-all"

Please forgive my ignorance, but how do I use the code in the link below?

That looks like .NET code, so it would have to be compiled into a DLL that you could load with the NETLOAD command.

looks like my .dll file was deleted in theswamp forum.

you need compile the code to dll, then drag and drop the dll file to autocad, then call the ss-renumber command like lisp, just writing.
