This is inconsistent with the U.S. National CAD Standards that uses a "grid" system combining letters designating vertical location and numbers for the horizontal.<BR /><BR />Unfortunately, Graphisoft hasn't developed a way to automatically give a drawing number based on layout location. To give your drawing a correct NCS identifier, select the drawing and go to Drawing Settings (CMD-T on Mac, ALT-T on PC). In the <STRONG>Identification</STRONG> tab, select the <STRONG>Custom</STRONG> option and enter your letter/number combination based on where the drawing is placed on the page. This custom number <I></I><S><I><I></I></I></S>will work with the new S/E and detail markers if they are set to use Plotmaker drawing numbers. Just remember to change the number as you change your layout.</DIV> Wed, 05 Feb 2025 11:00:29 GMT Anonymous 2025-02-05T11:00:29Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/hint-PM-3-1-Numbering-Drawings-with-the-NCS-standard/m-p/113#M67350 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content">Thought I would post this rather obvious hint, but it may be useful to others.<BR /><BR />The default way that the new Plotmaker auto-numbers drawings is similar to how it does sheets - the order the drawings are placed in the list as seen in the Navigator determines the drawing number.
