We use a pen table with Text Substitution to manage our sheet numbering through Print organizer for us. While it has it's drawbacks, it works well enough for normal projects.
I have a project where we are a Sub-consultant, and our sheets are inserted to the middle of the plans. The regular text substitutions for _DOCSET_CURRENTSETDOC_ AND _DOCSET_NUMSETDOC_ aren't going to work for us because we are not starting at 1 (we are starting at 71). Is there any way to tell Print Organizer to start counting at a specific number (other than 1)?
If not, is there any other way to automate sheet numbering that I can do in ten minutes or less? I don't have all day to figure out how to set something up and I don't really have the authority to override too many company standards.Thank you
You'll need to create a custom named expression in a .dgnlib that takes the print definition's position number (PrintDefinition.SetPrintDefNumber) and adds an arbitrary number. That custom named expression can be referenced in your pen table, Print Organizer output file name expression, etc.
An example screenshot is attached that demonstrates how to do this for pen table text substitution.

I tried this and didn't work, I don't know what I'm doing wrong
A small thing, but are those expressions Case Sensitive?
