Sheet numbers don't display numerically

[aaronmason]

I was hoping with the the new sheet number option it would fix this bug. There has to be a way to get your sheets to display in numerical order once you go above 11. Anyone have any advice?

Thanks.

Are you talking about the Names of your Sheet Layers?? If so, then the only fix (and I agree this is lame) is to name all sheets from 10 on with an "x" before the number: EG: Sheet x11; Sheet x12; etc. They will then display in order....

I assume you mean the new 2010 Sht-# feature?

I'm enjoying the automatic drawing title references for section viewports, but treating the numbers as text is unfortunate when it comes to sorting.

Peter, it appears as though putting an x in front of the number, as in Sht-x## also puts the X in the drawing titles. It might be better to put a space in front of the number in Sht- 1 thru 9. That would make the alpha sort of the sheet numbers also work numerically and not introduce mystery x in the drawing labels in all the sheets above 9.

I use the convention of adding a leading 0 below 10 (ie. 01 02 03) so that things in Vectorworks order properly. If you have more than 100 sheets, you would need to add zeros to fill out to 3 digits.

I agree with this, ive always done it this way

you can also use a space instead of a zero.
