Hi,
How could I move in the Page Navigator, the sheets of the drawing in numerical order, from PAGE 1 to PAGE 15 ?
Thanks

So, there's no way to reverse in the Part Navigator the order in which they were originally created, is there?........
Thanks!

Patrick,
Thanks a lot for your answer. It proved to be very accurate!
Another question for you: My inquiry has been published on the http://www.eng-tips.com
You answer was sent at Simens Comunity, not here. It would have brought you a recognition star! Why didn't you place your answer over here?

However, if you do rename your Drawing sheets as part of a need to insert additional sheets or remove existing sheets, which result in the final order being different than the actual creation order, you can now manually edit the Sheet 'Numbers' so that they will once again be in the same order as the Part Navigator list, or conform to whatever scheme you desire. In other words, the user now has independent control over what the Sheet 'Numbers' are irrespective of order of creation, or for that matter, the naming sequence. Just so that we're all clear here, when we say 'Sheet Number', we're talking about notations such as 'SHEET X of Y' or 'SHEET X/Y' or whatever using the existing Automatic Drawing Text routines.
In addition to these new capabilities (added to the Edit Sheet dialog) you can now include a 'column' in the Part Navigator which will indicate the Sheet Numbers as well as a column for the new Sheet Revision option (a topic for another day and another time).
Now the one issue which is still not resolved in an automated manner is what happens when the NAMES of Drawing Sheets are bumped from single to double digits, as in 'SHEET 1' to 'SHEET 10' when 9 additional Drawing sheets are created. Since the list of Drawing Sheets in the Part Navigator depends on a lexical sorting scheme, 'SHEET 10' comes after 'SHEET 1' but before 'SHEET 2'. In this situation (where there are 10 or more Drawing Sheets), users will still need to manually edit the Drawing Sheet names to something like 'SHEET 01', 'SHEET 02', etc.
Anyway, the good news is that the changes made in NX 8.0, as outlined above, should resolve most all of the outstanding issues with getting proper Sheet Numbers without having to do a lot of Drawing Sheet creation, Cutting & Pasting views and then deleting of now old empty Drawing Sheets.
