Is there any method to change the sheet name to match the sheet number in a CREO 3.0 Drawing?

I would like to know if it is possible to have the Sheet Name (system variable &sheet_name) changed to match the drawing sheet number (variable &sheet_number) automatically.

My scenario is this:

  • I have a 5 sheet drawing.

    Before

  • I want to move sheet 5 after sheet 2.

After


The sheet number on sheet tab 5 has changed to 3 but the sheet tab still says 5.

Is there any way to have the sheet 5 tab automatically change to read Sheet 3 and the following sheet tabs to read sequentially?

any assistance would be helpful.

I don't believe so. There is an existing product enhancement request Link the drawing sheet tabs to the drawing sheet numbers

As stated in that post, there was an effort by PTC product managers to get this in to Creo 4 but it didn't make it and they are going to try for creo 5.

But I should say, you can edit that sheet name in the tab by double clicking it...nothing automagic but it is fixable.

Stephen,

Thanks for the answer.

I guess I will wait until there is an enhancement.

The Masked Rider or a Raider Red?

thanks again.

BOTH!!!

Hi,

sheet name shown on sheet tab is text string, only which is assigned at the moment of sheet creation. Therefore if you change sheet order, it is not changed (Microsoft Excel works the same way).

Suggestion: Create an application which automates sheet names renaming according your company rules.
