Number of sheet in TITLE BLOCK

[waxe]

Dear All,

I have small issue here which bother me a lot during my Acad activity.

Is there a simple way to insert "Field" with number of following sheet in project?

For now I am doing it "by-hand" and having 20-50sheets in file such option would save me a lot of time. Please find picture below.

Thanks,

Pete

Can be done simply by counting the number of layouts then just step through and change the 1 attribute in the title block on each layout. Others will advise how to do in sheet sets.

 

;this is ;this is bits put together not tested
(vl-load-com) 
(setq Doc (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-Acad-Object)))

(setq LoCol (vla-get-Layouts Doc))

(setq numlay (- (vla-get-Count LoCol) 1) ;need -1 to remove model
(
setq oldtag1 "Total sheet") ; attribute tag name total sheet
(setq ss1 (ssget "x"  '((0 . "INSERT") (2 . "Titleblockname"))))

(setq inc (sslength ss1))
(repeat inc      
(foreach att (vlax-invoke (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname SS1 (setq inc (1- inc)) )) 'getattributes)
(if (= oldtag1 (strcase (vla-get-tagstring att)))
(vla-put-textstring att numlay) 
) ; end if
)

If you will include the page number in layouts naming may adapt one of the Diesel expressions proposed here.
