Duplicate Entries on Layout Index schedule

tjmillar — Fri, 19 May 2023 22:21:24 GMT

I am creating a company Standard Details Manual. The details are organized into groups and each group has a a drawing index for all the details in that group. I also have a Layout Project Index which creates a table of contents for those detail groups.

The problem is that because some of the subgroup drawing indexes are large enough to have to be split over two layouts, I get two entries in my layout table of contents.

If I manually split the drawing indexes over two pages, I can distinguish between the two layouts and specify which one shows up in the contents, but that's poor practice and will lead to errors as the manual develops. But when I use the automatic "Split among Layouts" function, there seems no way to distinguish between the two layouts that the index is applied to, so no way to list only one of those layouts on my Contents page.

It's one of those small, annoying issues that seems like it should be simple ... but I can't find a way around it. if anyone has a suggestion for a workaround, I'd be grateful to hear it!

Thanks, TJ.
