Llayout book - my title block & consecutive sheets numb

[Anonymous]

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...

Grab the master layout and drag it on top of the layout

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)
