I have been doing some digging and I saw reference in a posting here that you could use vaariables to define X as the order in print organizer and y as the total number of files in the pront organizer. I am not exactly sure where this would need to be implemented. Can anyone help me out with this. I have a schematic with around 800 sheets and I do not want to hand number them all.
Do you want to number the hard copies as they print? If so, Pen table text substitution can be used to print the definition number in the Print Set. When using _DOCSET_CURRENTSETDOC_ to replace an existing character string the print definition number is printed.
How do you get that dialog to come up?
In the Print dialog (File > Print), select Pen Table or Resymbolization (depending on your MicroStation version) > New Pen Table > name the tbl. Select Text Substitutions in the Modify Pen Table dialog.
The character string will need to exist is each print definition, such as in a common border reference file.
In the Text Substitutions dialog select Edit > Insert Print Set Item > Print Definition number in set
That works great! One last question. Lets say I have sheets 1-5 and someone else has 6-10 then I have 11-15 again. Is there a way to apply an offset to get the page numbers to come as 1-5, 11-15 from the print organizer?
