In solidworks drawings, the first sheet is always defaulted to "Sheet1". Sometimes I need my sheets to start at a different number, like "Sheet15" and so on. Renaming the sheet, however, does not fix the "Sheet (x) of (x)" at the bottom right corner. This is because the text box uses this code: SHEET \$PRP:"SW-Current Sheet" OF \$PRP:"SW-Total Sheets".
I thought I was clever, and tired to make a custom property and use the equations to take this initial offset of the sheets and calculate the sheets current number and the final number based on the starting point of the first sheet. The equation worked! But the only problem is it spits out the sheet number with 3 sig figs. So when I use the text box to call from these custom properties, it will show up in three sig figs. Like "SHEET 15.000 OF 17.000"
Is there a way to get this to only spit out whole numbers with no sig figs, or am I stuck? Also if you have another suggestion I'd like to hear it. I could just use a macro, however I feel like the macro would only rename these values every time it is run, and I want this done automatically.
Thank you
