How do you adjust page numbers on a drawing?
How do you adjust page numbers on a drawing?
(OP)
Basically I am compiling a drawing of all the parts in a model, but the drawing files were getting too big so i split it into a number of different drawing files, but now the page numbers restart on each seperate file.
Is there a way of easily changing the page number to add on 30 pages?
i.e. the code is 'SHEET $PRP:"SW-Current Sheet" OF $PRP:"SW-Total Sheets"'
and on the first sheet of the second drawing this prints 'SHEET 1 OF 29' but the first drawing file has 30 pages so i want this to actually say 'SHEET 31 of 59'. Is there a way of automating this? I spoke to the Solidworks technical helpline and they just suggested doing it by hand....which is preferable seen as i have about 120 sheets altogether across 5 drawings!!!

You can do this too... really... you can.
That's also what I would tell you if I were your tech support.

For the "SHEET ? OF ??" you could use 5 separate templates with the "??" part of the field manually set accordingly.

If an assembly has 4 sub-assemblies, and those sub-assemblies have sub-assemblies, it seems like it would be a headache to make sure you have printed all parts/assemblies/sub-assemblies. Do you have a front page or something with a check-list to make sure the complete drawing-packet is included?
We (at work) have discussed the pros and cons of moving to 1 part per drawing. The cons seem to outweight the pros. I think making a revision to 1 single drawing, instead of having to update 3 drawings that have that part is a plus.

I have an assembly with approximately 20 sub-assemblies and approximately 120 overall parts. This is split into 6 different drawing files, for which the sheet numbers do not currently line up.
We thought about having seperate sheets for each part, but that would mean not having sheet numbers at all, which kind of defies the point.

Exception is tooling, all parts on one drawing and each part has a dash number.
