I like to detail out lots of different structural items, such as columns and beams... My workflow is to design a frame and have each member as a symbol... Then I reference the symbols into a new file, one member on each design layer (of the same name) B1, B2, C1,C2 and so on...
I create a drawing with a border on a sheet layer, "C 1" (inserting a space as they can't have the same exact name) lay up all my dimensions and hole diams etc... then I duplicate the sheet many times into C 2, C 3, and so on.
Trouble is, all the sheets still show the initial "C 1" drawing number in the border.. so I end up with a lot of different C 1 sheets.
To correct this, I need to double click on each sheet border and click ok, and then it updates correctly.
There is also an issue with the drawing numbers also. on the first sheet, they're all numbered sequentially, but in duplicated sheets, they all have the same number.... example, front view is 1, side is 2 and so on... on the duplicated sheet, all the viewports have the same drawing numbers... ie lots of drawing numbered 7 or something.
I do have auto drawing number co-ordination on, but this workflow seems to break it some how...

Hi everyone... does anyone else experience this?
I like to detail out lots of different structural items, such as columns and beams... My workflow is to design a frame and have each member as a symbol... Then I reference the symbols into a new file, one member on each design layer (of the same name) B1, B2, C1,C2 and so on...

Any ideas of a fix?
Thanks in advance
