I currently have 2 scripts that batch plot for me. One batch plots
with a date stamp(created with rtext). The other turns the dtae stamp
layer off then batch plots. I now want to have the page numbering done
for me. The way we do it now is by manually editing text. For example
if we have three drawings in a set we number each drawing(or page)
1/3, 2/3 or 3/3. The problem is when we have a large set of drawings
(from 1 page to 50+) and then a new drawing is added, we have to
manually edit text in every drawing to reflect the new page numbering
(ex. 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4). What is the easiest solution? I'm not
even sure if rtext is capable of doing this but if it was it would
seem the easiest, I would just add it to my template. Any help in this
matter would be appreciated.

BTW....every set of drawings is located in it's own specific
individual folder.

Using Autocad 2002 and Windows 98.

Thanks,
Jason
