In our title blocks, we have a block for "sheets".
Currently we use $PRP:"SW-Current Sheet" OF $PRP:"SW-Total Sheets"
On our sheetmetal drawings, on the last sheet we place a flat pattern that we use to create a DXF. We even label the last sheet "DXF". We really don't want SolidWorks to count the DXF sheet as one of the total sheets.
My questions is: Is there a way of subracting a sheet named "DXF" from the statement $PRP:"SW-Current Sheet" OF $PRP:"SW-Total Sheets"?

RE: Custom Properties
Could you just not use the total number of sheets function? Is it really a can't-live-without item?
or ...
Create a "NumberOfSheets" property in the drawing and link to that instead of the "SW-Total Sheets". Obviously you'll need to manually set/change the property.

I have worked at places where it was necessary to keep mltiple drawings for parts (usually for in-process inspection).
