Page Numbering

Using this plugin you can quickly renumber the sheets. If you have to manually loop through all drawing sheets to write a sheet number, this program will radically speed up your work. Just call the command PNO (PageNo), and it will find the blocks with the attribute "PageNo" and would put numbers.

In addition the plugin can:

• To put the total number of sheets.

• Look for the names of the sheets and make a table of contents.

• Copy the contents to the clipboard for pasting into a text box, table or in a TXT file, Word, Excel.

• Skip the table of contents row with the same name.

• To customize the names of desired attributes.

• Set the first page number.

• Insert table of contents into AutoCAD tables.

With the program free of charge commands works with tables "Paste To Table" (PTT) and "SplitTable". As you know, you cannot just copy the cells from Excel and paste them into AutoCAD. This defect is partly compensated by the command "Paste To Table". With its help, you can insert in the AutoCAD table any texts separated by tabs and line breaks. Including data copied to the clipboard using the "PNo" command. And the command "SplitTable" will help to send to the printer a table that does not fit into one layout.

According to your request I can optimize the command for the standards of your company. Offer your price.

First, create a block for the sheet-title (command _Block). You can create a few blocks - for the title page, for the rest of the drawings and just to the sheet number. It does not matter what you call these blocks.

Add the block attribute (_Attdef command). It is important that the attribute was a name “PageNo” (or SheetNo or Page or Sheet or specify a different attribute name in settings). This attribute should not be a constant.

Additionally, you can also add two more attribute: PageCount and Title. Attribute PageCount (or SheetCount or Pages or From) can be a constant then total number of sheets to be wrote. Title (or Name or SheetName or SheetTitle or DrawingName) - is the name of this drawing for the table of contents.

Arrange blocks on each sheet. Place the sheets in order. If you arrange drawings directly in the model, then keep in mind that the program will number them, focusing on the block insertion point downwards. For blocks with the same Y coordinate of the insertion point numbering will go from left to right.

Give the name of each sheet, by editing the attribute "Title" or just give distinct names to sheet bookmarks (to Layout).

Call the command PNo. First, the program will look for the blocks on the layout in the paper-space. If it do not find – program will look at the model.

Next, the program will record the number to each block. If layout contain several blocks with the sheet number attribute, the number is written in only one block.

Then the program will record the total number of sheets. If you are using AutoCAD layouts program will write total number of layouts, even if some of them do not have the title block. If the search is in model space, the program will simply recalculate how many blocks found.

At finish table of contents will be copied to the clipboard. You can insert a table of contents into the text field just by pressing CTRL+V. Or switch to another program such as Word or Excel and paste the contents back.

Next, the program will try to insert a table of contents into the AutoCAD table. By default, the program looks for a table titled "Table of Contents". If the table is not found, the program will ask you to select the table.

Follow the messages on the console. There may be program messages.

Settings

Use AvcOptions palette on PageNo tab.

There you can change the names of the desired attributes. To return to the default name, leave the field empty settings. You can select a number greater than 1 for the first page.

In the settings window there is a button for calling the insertion settings dialog in the table. The PNo command stores its own settings for Paste To Table. They may differ from the settings of the PTT command. Some settings affect the behavior of the PNo command

• Title - the command will insert “Table of contents” string in first row of table.

• Headers - the command will insert column headers “Page” and “Name” in start row of table of contents.

• Show dialog - if the option is enabled, the Table Select dialog will be displayed. Default off.
