SketchUp Layout Auto-Text Tag notation

[gudio83]

Does anybody know what are the scripts for auto-text tags:

1. / ?AllPages? - I mean that the second number must be the number of all pages (ex: 1/48)?

2. ??CurrentScale?? - mean to get current scale from the current scene (ex: 1:100)?

3. How to name pages automaticly with the names of the scenes?

See the bottom of this page for a list of available Auto-Text tag types. I don’t think what you’re looking for is currently available.

Then, in my Layout template file, <TotalPages> is set to a placeholder of “X”, so when I am complete with the document, I swap the “X” with the total number of pages in the document.

How to name pages automaticly with the names of the scenes?

A pathway for creating multi page docs with automatic page labels of the sketchup scenes.

Auto-Text for Scene name in Layout

Once all my scenes are ready to go, I run the extension Create Layout File. This opens Layout and creates a new document which has an individual page and a single viewport for each of the scenes in your Sketchup model. This process incidentally names each created page with the scene title. This ca…

I do the same, but looking for automatic process. Thanks for the link. Now I see that is not available.

This extension is a good idea, but it’s not developped. I can’t use layout template with this extension. This take me a lot of time to change the template for each page (I don’t know how to change the template for all pages in one click). It is not a solution for now.

Yeah. That’s true this method will not support custom templates, wish it could.
