In this session, we'll learn how to auto-number the sheets in a sheet set.
00:07
Before I get started, let me mention that as of the time of this recording, January 2025,
00:12
the Auto-number feature is only available for sheet sets stored in the Autodesk Construction Cloud.
00:17
I'm not sure if this will change over time, but for now this is a cloud only feature.
00:22
On my screen I have a small sheet set containing about 14 sheets.
00:26
You can see that the sheet set includes a pair of subsets, one for plan and profile sheets and one for cross sections.
00:33
Historically, you could renumber sheets by right clicking on a sheet and choosing rename and renumber.
00:39
And you could still do this, it works the same way.
00:42
I'll make this first sheet 10 for example, and then I'll click Next and I'll enter 11 for the next sheet and so on.
00:49
I'll click OK when finished.
00:51
So this more traditional workflow also applies to the cloud.
00:54
That said, here in the cloud we have the ability to apply sheet numbers automatically.
00:59
I'll do that by right clicking on the sheet set or one of the subsets.
01:04
As an example, I'll right click on the cross sections subset and choose auto numbering.
01:09
From here I can assign a prefix.
01:11
This might be A for architectural or C for civil, something like that.
01:15
I don't need a prefix in this case, so I'll leave this setting blank.
01:18
I can then enter the starting number for this subset.
01:21
For instance, I'll type 1 and press OK.
01:24
When I do, you can see that all the sheets within that subset are numbered starting with 1.
01:29
Knowing this, if I wanted to renumber the entire sheet set starting at one, I would right click on the sheet set and choose Auto Numbering.
01:37
I'll use one for the starting number and I'll press OK.
01:40
Notice that applying Auto Numbering to the sheet set, it numbers everything outside the subsets.
01:46
Knowing that, I'll right click on the Planning Profiles subset and choose Auto-Numbering.
01:50
This group of sheets will start with three and I'll click OK.
01:54
Finally, I'll right click and renumber the cross sections subset starting with six.
01:59
And the last thing, I'll right click on this final sheet and assign it #14 using the traditional rename renumber workflow.
02:06
As you can see using the auto numbering feature, renumbering sheets is no longer a one at a time process.
02:12
Today, so long as the sheet set is stored in the cloud, an entire sheet set can be renumbered with a few clicks of the mouse.
