Add a Blank Sheet or Cover sheet in a drawing that doesn't get counted as a "sheet number".

I want to be able to add a sheet at the front of my drawing file on occasion when a project generates important notes. While also not being assigned a page number.

 

Starting all my drawing templates with a "blank sheet 1"  so start of the drawing package is on sheet 2 is not an option.

 

I'd also like to create this sheet on old drawings if possible. Adding a new sheet (1) would bump all my page numbers and this is an undesired revision.

 

If its not possible, I will stop bothering with this idea.

 

Thanks!

Seems like the right solution is to change the sheet numbering to start with Zero.  I don't know if that is possible.

I do something similar for one customer.  The final deliverable is a PDF, so I have the 2 files, then merge the PDF's into one document.  It preserves the drawing numbering and I don't have a number on the Intro Page.

That is not really what you are asking, but if your final deliverable is not the Creo file, then maybe the idea and extra step can help.

Hi,

 

For creating a cover page, I use a mapkey that runs a trail file

 

Trail file:

 

!trail file version No. 2020
!Creo TM 9.0 (c) 2025 by PTC Inc. All Rights Reserved.
~ Command `ProCmdDwgNewSheets`
~ Command `ProCmdDwgMoveCopySheets`
~ Activate `movesheet` `OK`
~ Command `ProCmdDwgPageSetup`

 

After you have to choose a format.

 

Once I looked for this possibility of turning off numbering without success - I can't help.

 

Cheers!
