I do not know the mistake which I meet.

  • The total page number variable counts the actual number of total pages, so if you skip a page number and have only 18 pages, that is what it shows, no matter what number you assign to the pages.  So if you want it to show 19 pages but you only have 18, you would have to insert a page to fill in the missing slot and perhaps just note on the page that page is intentionally left blank.

  • In Title Block Designer, make sure the variable you have on the title block is Project.TotalPages, not something else like DrawingSet.TotalPages or Installation.TotalPages.

    Regarding your reference table question, it's possible to display the device tag at the table, at least with the most recent version of the software. You would do this by placing the Tag Mnemonic on the cross reference symbol on the Specify Device ID step of Create Symbol, and make sure the Suppress Display of ID check box is not set. 

    But to include a cross reference to the parent symbol, you would need to create a new, empty symbol and restructure your family to make the coil symbol a child symbol and the empty symbol the parent symbol. The empty symbol is a true symbol but only needs to contain the tag mnemonic, insertion point, and (optionally) the cross reference insertion point.

    Example family:

    I am sure , in title Block Designer, I acted as your guide. Sometimes, It is error same as the picture which I sent to you as previous message


    The previous pages  has not error when total pages has not met 19.

    I dont know what is mistake in this case  ?

    I am sure I created symbol same which you said above. But Tag of device is not appear in the reference table. 

    I using Promis.e Version Promise_series_5_v08.11.10.66 , on background AutoCad

  • I'm not sure what's going on for your total page count. Could it be that a different variable was used when the title block was first designed? Perhaps try Review/Revise > Replace > Replace Title Block and use it to replace the title block with the same title block to update it.

    The ability to display the device tag at the cross reference symbol was added in Promis.e V8i SELECTseries 8 (08.11.13.xx). So consider upgrading at your convenience, which for you entails moving to the standalone version. But you do not need the ability to show the device tag at the cross reference symbol if you follow the concept I described previously to show the coil cross reference in the chart. That is because you will be placing an empty symbol as the parent symbol where you want the cross reference chart to be displayed, and you can display the device ID on the empty parent symbol.
