Page number on plans

Hey guys! I wanted to ask if there is a way to see what page number youre on the plans, not just the sheet name. Example: E3.0(43/57). I am asked commonly what page i am on, and i havnt noticed a way to see this on this software. Can I get further clarification if this is possible?

I rename all my sheets "Page Number - Page Description". Eg, A10.01 - Elevation A so it shows up on the Page Name.

Having said that, I'm not sure on the AI system to be able to do this. I do it Manually.

Okay, thats what i figured i could do too. But with plans 200+ sheets long, its rough to rename manually and kinda defeats the purpose of the AI Auto name. Thank you for this insite, i will definitely do that for now!

Maybe AI will let you select the area of the plan where the page number resides so it can rename with that data.

I have only just learnt to deal with Murphy, now AI is creeping in.....

I made a script to help you preprocess your pdf file by naming the pages like (1/16) , (2/16), etc. To do this you run the script below at the page below, then select the input pdf file, then select where to save the output pdf file. Then open zztakeoff and import the file, and be sure to uncheck the Auto-Detect with AI for "Page Name". Then once you finish the import you will see the detected page number (like A101) and the page number after that, so: A101 - (1/16) . When you are on any page in zztakeoff, the current page shows in the bottom toolbar, showing you the page number from the pdf file.

You can open: https://pyodide.org/en/stable/console.html

And copy and paste the following script into the black page that loads and press enter:

Aweseom! Thank you so much. This totally works. Do you think this will ever be added to the program so we dont have to do this work around?

I believe when we add custom scripting for workspaces we could add this as a feature with a button on the toolbar, but I can't predict when that will be released (we are testing it now internally).
