I know it is so easy that I am blind to it...much like Love, OK
How does one in a step by step way, take my title block as a Master Layout and then input the drawings on sheet 2 ,3 and 4 and have the numbers consecutive...and the title block show on all...?

I've spent 8 hours and 3 books and nothing has worked...so it must be tooo simple...Yes ?

Once you assign the Master layout to your layouts they will start the numbering automatically. Under Help go to Archicad help -> Index -> M -> Master Layout

Thanks for your explisit assistance....However, the Master Layout that I have created still does not show up on any layout no matter what I do. As I said it must be so simple that my 6 years of college make me miss it all together...

Have you assigned your master to the layout? See image.

(WARNING: I just tried to select multiple layouts in navigator from in the file shown, to assign the same master to each, and AC crashed and bug reporter started, so I would avoid trying to do it this way. This happened twice on different (but similar) files, AC11 1033)
