Bas Vellekoop Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi all, I`m wondering if it is possible to create a title block with gives you the following for page numbers: page number .... of a total of .... pages. So when there are twelve pages and showing page number one: 1/12 Is this possible? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted January 12, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hello @Bas Vellekoop, If you are using the Title Block Border, have you tried the Sheet Data.Page Number and Project Data.Total Num Sheets fields? I think that using then should get the job done for you, if you have one TBB per page. Let me know if you need any additional information. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov 1 Quote Link to comment
Bas Vellekoop Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 @Nikolay Zhelyazkov Thanks! Yeah i got it by some fiddling around, missed this at first. For anybody with the same question: 2 Quote Link to comment
Evan S Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) A) It would be great to be able to format the Total Number of Sheets field so that I could have a zero before the actual number (ex. 01 of 04 sheets, I'm working with a client at the moment and that's how they prefer their numbering B) For the Sheet Number value, I really wish it would update a Sheet's number based on the actual Sheet Order Stacking. If what is originally labeled Sheet 4 needs to move down the stack to say where sheet 6 used to be, it would make sense for this field to update accordingly.

Jeff Prince Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 @Evan S Your wish "B" could be problematic for those of us who keep many different kinds of drawings in a single file. The sheet stacking order has a lot of utility beyond numbering sheets, think alternate schemes, etc. Quote Link to comment
Evan S Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 @jeff prince True enough. This would only ever need to be a simple option turned on or off just like the "Auto Generate Page Number" option is in the Sheet Data panel of Title Block Border Settings. Just tuck those two options right next to each other. Quote Link to comment
