How can I handle a Layout_names/IDs/PageNumbers

Anonymous — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 10:08:04 GMT

I want to make some tablelike object, that will automatically show
current page names in layout and their numbers, but
i don't really know how to do this. May be there is some query commands,
like REQUEST (LayoutPagesNumber),
or REQUEST (LayoutPage_Names[])

thnx for answering...

Hi Basil,

AutoText should serve your purpose. They way I've done it for my layout object is: (small example)

TEXT2 x1, y1, "<LAYOUTNAME>"

For a full list of autotext possibilities, see this page in the wiki.

Hi, Vistasp.
I want to make an Automatic [Table of Contents of a Layout Book.]
So it must contain All ID-names of All Layouts in a LayoutBook.

Therefore <Layoutname> is not accepteble.
or I didnt understood smthn?

Hi Basil,

Why don't you use a custom "Sheet index" in the "Project Indexes" that you find in the project map? If you customize it, or create a new one, you will get a almost exactly what you are looking for an automatic table of content. If you use the criteria smartly (filters) you can even exclude some of the layout for example the one were the table is placed 😉
