NX5 automatic attributes

NX5 automatic attributes

NX5 automatic attributes

(OP)
I have a part in which I have added a new sheet to the drawing.  I have named it "Sheet 1 of 2" the other sheet, which already existed, I renamed to "Sheet 2 of 2".  I have used the built in attributes <w@$SH_Sheet_number> and <w@$SH_Number_of_sheets> in each title block.  The problem comes in that the new sheet that I added, which I would like to be sheet 1 of 2, is being labeled sheet 2 of 2 by the automatic attributes.

How do I go about fixing this without recreating both sheets.    

RE: NX5 automatic attributes

The only way that I've ever managed this was to add a 3rd sheet, move all the views and Part Lists (using Cut & Paste) from the 1st sheet to the 3rd sheet and then delete the 1st sheet and the remainder will automatically renumber, where the old 2nd sheet will become the new 1st sheet and the 3rd sheet will become the new 2nd sheet.

I know this sounds a bit tedious, but if you only have to perform this task once in awhile, it's not all that much of a hassle.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Thanks!
I took your advice and mad a small modification.  I selected the entire sheet 2, copied it, and then pasted it into the drawing.  This created a third sheet.  I then took the parts list from sheet 2 and cut and pasted it into sheet three.  Then I deleted sheet 2, and the numbering scheme was correct.  

Thanks again

One more question on this subject...

Is there a way that a sheet can not be counted, like a layout sheet, or a reference only sheet?
