With this option, you can choose whether row numbering should be made over multiple sheets or not.

 

Row numbering over multiple sheets means that the numbering of rows continues on the next drawing sheet. The row numbering continues on the next drawing sheet where it stopped on the previous. This is quite unusual, but works fine in cadett ELSA. A requirement for this to work properly is however that the numbering is made increasingly.

 

The most common way to number, is to have the numbering start all over again for each drawing sheet. All drawing sheets will then have the same row numbering as the first drawing sheet.

 

The value of this parameter is just used as a starting point for the calculation that cadett ELSA is doing of cross-references and item designations. It is up to you to make sure that the numbering in the drawing frame in each drawing sheet corresponds to these values, and the other way around.

 

This parameter does not affect the appearance of the drawing frame. You must therefore make sure that the drawing fame corresponds to the value which you specify here. Changes in the drawing frame can be made using the Drawing Environment, i.e. with AutoCAD. A row numbering over multiple sheets can of course be done manually. This is, however, a time consuming and tiresome task, especially in large projects. A more effective method would be to utilize the Script Generator to do it automatically.

 

Even more effective, though, would be not to use neither Row numbering over multiple sheets, nor Column numbering over multiple sheets, at all.
