Auto text that reads the sheet size in layout space, eg. A1,

[Rex Moore]

Do you know of a way to create:

Auto-text that reads the sheet size in layout space, eg. A1,

I know it can be done through index setting, however I want to see this displayed as A1 etc not the actual size.

See example below..

Hiya, Lingwisyer.

Thanks for your question,

Firstly,

1. On the cover page is an index that reads all sheet numbers and sheet names.

2. I can add sheet size, however this does not display as A1 A2 etc, it gives the size in millimeters see example 420/297. 

I would like this to read as A1 or A2 etc

Foot note:  the main title block reads from inside ArchiCAD and is generic to nearly all sheets regardless of their size.

Some of the info for the title block remains in the Layout master, it is here that I want to place the Auto text. Copy paste onto different size sheets and it always reads the layout size of the Master Layout that is being used.

Secondly,

In the title block on each sheet, in my ideal world I want an auto-text that just reads the sheet size of the current sheet, which automatically updates, if the sheet size is changed (for any reason) and can be copy pasted onto other sheets of differing sizes and display correctly. Thus reducing an element of error.

1. In an Index

2. In View placed in a Master applied to a Layout.

For #2, you might be able to use the code from my previous link to create an object place on each Master. It definitely will not work if placed in a View, but it should on a Master much like the autotext <CURRENTISSUEDATE> and the request layout_revision_history.

We put info in the layout scheme since you can use it for an index of the layouts. If you put plain text on the title block, you can't use it in the index.
