Bruce Kieffer Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Is it possible to make a Page # Data tag to be placed on multiple page sheet layers? Might there be another way to ID the sheet layer pages automatically? Quote Link to comment
TKA Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I have it in my title block, if you locate it inside the TB you will have option in Object Info to choose"link value" and "sheet data.page number" Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 4 hours ago, TKA said: I have it in my title block, if you locate it inside the TB you will have option in Object Info to choose"link value" and "sheet data.page number" I have 6 pages in my sheet layer. I cannot seem to get the title block "link value" and "sheet data.page number" to pick up the individual page numbers. Can it do that? I need to print certain pages in the sheet layer and having the page number show would help me to know what page number to use in the print dialog box. Quote Link to comment
TKA Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 not possible with multi page on a single sheet layer, Quote Link to comment
TKA Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 one sheet page, one number, no way around as far as I know Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 And certainly no way for VW to know what order the pages would be printed in (across x down or down x across) as that is part of the printer driver and only set after the data is already out of VW. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 OK then. Thanks for the help everyone. I guess I can't have more than 10 print pages in my sheet layer otherwise I will need to remove my shoes to count! Quote Link to comment
bjoerka Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Have you seen the Marionette from DomC? Maybe that adresses what you want to achieve... Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Looks like it's for Vectorworks 2023, not 2024. Quote Link to comment

DomC Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) I already use a new Version since 2024. Had missed uploading it. - This would work on 2024 and i think, there was a bug with landscape and portrait format in some versions (it was exactly wrong side out). 1.0.3 fixe that issue. - Also new Feature with prefix and actual Datetime Usage: Copy and always paste in place. Or set coords of PlugIn to 0,0 in Info Palette. So it will automatically find the right coords on the pages. Edited June 24 by DomC 1 Quote Link to comment
