How can I adjust the zone border numbering of an .idw@
How can I adjust the zone border numbering of an .idw@
(OP)
I need to have the zone border increase numbers by sheet ie.
sheet1 1-8
sheet2 9-16
All of the numbers drawings I've ever seen have this. I'm not certain why it's not standard.

-under drawing resources, expand the "borders" folder, right click and define a new zone border
-pick how many numbers/letters, etc
-edit them for each sheet.
it's not a standard because it's not a standard.

It seems silly that Autodesk would have no standard user option to account for this. If you have an idea of how to do this I'm all ears.

Size E (I think) drawings are defined in the ANSI standard as being "as long as you need them to be", and thus you can create a template (or there may well be one already) with zones numbering from A1 to 99 and probably on beyond. But you don't call them different _sheets_ AFAIK, and you certainly don't cut them into separate sheets unless you want to get spanked by an old-timer. You plot them on a size E format roll-fed plotter, which are still made (our sister company has one, and I can link to it via the network). Then you roll them back up to store them.

This page talks about how to build your own:

There are likely other users with similar problems. Aircraft, structural and other users may need the long-form E size drawings as well. A little googling may give you more advice.

We draw our own borders and don't rely on Inventor default. You can make as many as you need (which I imagine will be a lot).
What part of marine use this? It is not used in ship building or subsea where I have worked.
Do you really 'personally' know 10s of thousands of AutoCAD users? You must be killing it on Facebook..

@EngAddict
There are over 10000 ACAD users using these drawings in my company alone(shipbuilding). Including the many customers and contractors, I do know OF 10s of thousands. If you can't answer the question why are you wasting both of our time?

I gave you the solution, many posts ago.

We all follow standards.. Even with 10,000 users you should too.

I can feel an admin moderated post coming on but here goes..
I have answered your question, create a custom border like everyone else. This is no different to AutoCAD but I guess it isn't the answer you want to hear.
No company with experienced Inventor users and their own standards use the stock borders. Only new users or companies without standards use the out of the box templates. It is quite common.
The companies I know in shipbuilding don't use Inventor, they use AutoCAD with add-ins custom designed for the ship building industry. These specially designed programs would incorporate and quirky 'industry/company' standards that the rest of the manufacturing industry don't use or need. Then again I can't speak for all Inventor users since I maybe only personally know hundreds both locally and online (possibly more but I don't want to BS). If you have 10,000 AutoCAD users the law of averages states that at least a 100 would also be Inventor gurus, you could try and ask around if the answers here don't suit your expectations.
I don't know about you guys but I am trying to picture a drafting office with 10,000 desks, 10,000 computers, etc.. you would need to ride a bike to get from one end to the other in under an hour. Alternatively a 60 story high rise would maybe be sufficient. Autodesk must be killing the pig on their subscription each year. I know some people who work for multinational oil and gas, and mining companies, with maybe a few thousand people locally and they personally only know a handful of people. I ask them if they know people in the department I deal with and the answer is usually no. If I were you I would ask for a pay rise for being such a community minded employee and taking the time to personally interact with everyone in your entire organization. I have heard of mind mapping but could you teach me some tricks for remembering all their names? I go to a party and can't remember the names of the people I just met. I'm hopeless like that.
I hope I have answered your question, if not I think the other posters have covered it quite well. Please don't take anything I say too seriously, I am only trying to help. Best of luck.
