0 allannathan Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 @Kevin Allen - I remember you from the Design Summit! We were both front row in one of the courses... probably Vision? Any chance you'd be willing to share some screen captures or a VWX file with the report? Quote Link to comment
0 Jim Smith Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 While I agree, this would be useful, we use a Quick & Dirty technique.Open the Navigation Pallet & highlighting the sheets to print then use the GRAB tool & place this on the cover sheet as an imported Image. Not elegant, but it saves hours. Quote Link to comment
0 allannathan Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Thanks, @Jim Smith ! Good workaround. Quick an dirty indeed. This will be great until (hopefully) we get a plugin. Quote Link to comment
0 Jim Smith Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Thanks, I note that I used one as an example that really fit the bill of "Quick & Dirty" as the city asked us to include an additional Title page for Zoning so our standard numbering structure got all messed up. 🙃 Quote Link to comment

0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Matt Panzer Posted February 15, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 15, 2019 Actually, there's a preformatted report called Drawing List that does this for you. Use the Create Report command, set the Type to "Preformatted" and select "Drawing List". 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't see it in the list. I just took a look and do not see it available for Spotlight users. I assume it because the majority of projects in Spotlight do not hav that many pages? In any case, I'll run this past the Spotlight folks to see if this is something they might consider adding. Quote Link to comment
0 David Phillips Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Just popping in to weigh in - a quick VW work-around I use is: Tools > Reports > Create Sheet List. You need to select and transfer each titleblock sheet; and need to do some formatting, but it's a quick population... Quote Link to comment
