Automatic sequential Page Numbering in Index in addition to the subset page id assignment

JasonC — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 12:11:53 GMT

Hi team

Im looking to try and add another column to my drawing index

currently im using automatic layout ID assignment in the drawing subsets for various subset headings
as per the attached image, which i am happy with.
but im also wanting to add a simple sequential page numbering that is automatically assigned in the drawing index
numbered 1 - 50 (or however many pages are in that selected drawing subset folder, for example for the 'detailed drawings' while excluding other subsets (such as 'concept' or 'developed design' which are not relevant in the rest of the layout book.

it would also be helpful if on each layout in the title block there was some sort of autotext that would tell that page it is
for example 'page 6 of 47'

Any help on this one?

Operating system used: Windows 10Pro version 2009

For 'page 6 of 47' your looking for autotext - something like this is what I use: #LayNoInSubset of 'number of layouts of subset' or something like that - just depends on how you have your layout book set up.

Not sure on your first question though - it might involve some sort of custom property? Be interested to know how!

Hope that is of some help...
