Question about Auto-text (layout #)

[Anonymous]

I tried searching for this but didn't find anything. We have a big project (different layout subsets) And we use our own master for each page and a layout number and total page number (i.e. 2 of 5) on the master. So here is our question: Can you have the auto text reset for each new subset

Thanks guys ! that was helpful so much

even in archiCAD 21 this still need to be tweaked 😕

Archicad 21 now has a new autotext for 'layout number in subset' where you can choose the subset you want to use.

There are a lot of new autotext entries in 21.

I'm using the #LayNoInSubset to get the layout number on a specific subset. But the issue is, since that autotext property is linked to the subset you choose on the list, I have problems when I use the same Master Layout on a different subset (which is very important because I'm creating several subsets with the same Master)

It would be much better if the LaySubset number is auto-detected, otherwise I'd have to make a new Master for every subset, only to change that tiny thing, since the rest of the information is the same. And that's a workaround that would end up in dozens of pretty much identical masters.

I guess it would be hard for nested subsets. Which one does it detect?

When you open the list, you can select any of the current subsets on the file, but the autotext displays equally regardless of what you choose (#LayNoInSubset) so from the beginning is quite confusing. Then when you are on a layout of the subset you chose, it effectively shows the number of the plan within the layout, buy if you use the same master outside of that subset, the text is only shown as "#LayNoInSubset"
