This is something that I thought I'd have the ability to do in ORD CONNECT but never got confirmation and now I can't seem to find good examples of anyone doing what I'm trying to do, so I'm not sure it is possible.
I am using the sheet index tool, and am trying to use text fields to display a sheet number for a sheet that is not the current model. I've tried to use the sheet index to link the sheet number I want to the text element, but after cycling through all the fields, I can't seem to find any that allow me to display properties of the linked model.
In short, I'd like a text to say "See Sh. No. 44" but have the 44 be dynamically updated and linked to a sheet model's position in the sheet index.
Is this something that is currently possible? Currently on 2020 R3.
Thanks
I agree - it's not the greatest solution, but it's functional.I would love if clients didn't want sheet number references...or if there was a way to create a field with a direct link, instead of the workaround.I'm glad we were able to get you something to keep you working for the meantime.

A simple way to do this is to reference in the sheet model and clip out just the page number then place it in the text where you want it.
You should only have to do this once and it will update whenever you update the Sheet Index
Ideally they should have a variable something like "SheetIndex.ModalName.Page".
Hope this helps.
