So create a text with that field inside the layout sheet. if its not a block you can use this to copy to the rest of the tabs

By LISP:

(layoutlist) will give you a list of layout names

(command "layout" "r" (nth x (layoutlist)) "-NEWNAME-") will rename layouts, here layout number x

 

Make a loop the length of your layout list, and rename accordingly.

If you need to grab the layout name from say, a block in each layout, this will take you to layout 'x'

(setvar "ctab" (nth x (layoutlist))) wuill take you to the nth layout in your drawing

 

Just need to put is all together, ask if you get stuck but that is the basics

EDIT

Whoops got this the wrong way round, that was renaming sheets not a adding the sheet name into the drawing

Use the (setvar... part to loop through the sheets, use (nth x (layoutlist)) to get the layout name and then edit the text as you want in the sheet from there, noticing that your sheet name isn't a field but is text?

Check out Lee Mac's lisp Layout Field http://lee-mac.com/layoutfield.html

Hi all, please check what i need, select all layouts and mark numbers, like i did through this lisp

This is my attempt, choose title block, choose scale, it then generates rectangs, then next step make layouts that match.

 

Next step is do say "1 of 8" in title block. 

 

 

So need a title block, there is more functions, copy attributes from 1 layout to all layouts, rotate North point to match viewport, add grid in papersapce, to mention a few.

 

I am happy to discuss these options but they do have a small fee as they were developed as a commercial answer. Send a PM to me with your email and we can discuss.

 

Thinking again even more INDEX.lsp, plus all the plot routines.

You should learn how to use blocks with attributes for your titleblocks. Then put that field in one attribute ( or make it the default value ) and all your sheets will automagically number themselves. Code is not needed for this simple task.
