Page numbering

Yanko
Yanko over 8 years ago

I am having problems with page numbers (and total number of pages) that appear in the title blocks. Although they are sometimes correct, most of the time they are wrong. I know how I can fix them manually but I have not been able to find out a method of automatically updating these properties to the correct values. Any suggestions?

I am using 16.6 and my design has hierarchical blocks.

I have also not been able to find information on where the title block pulls this information and when it is being updated. Sometimes the total is updated in the title blocks of all pages, but sometimes not. Also, what is the placeholder text for these fields? For that matter, is there a list of recognized placeholders and the source of the information that they are substituted with? (Aside from <title> and <doc> that are from the design template.)

Many thanks!

Yanko

    It depends on which tool you are referring to.... but for OrCAD Capture try a Tools - Annotate. there is an option for page numbering here about how it numbers this based on Project Manager ordering - but if you just run this the page numbers are updated. For the placeholders take a look at the OrCAD Capture User Guide available from the Help menu
