Thanks, Derek I would second the idea of a "Rename Sheet" option... _________________ Phil Loheed

Thanks Matt, that's what I already did. Brian is usually right on these things so I acted. My sheets were labeled "Figure 1. blah blah", Figure 2. Blah blah", etc and all I wanted to change were the figure numbers. It would have been nice to have a rename option. Less typing! Now all I need is for the title of the drawing window to change to the Sheet Name rather than the Layer Name. Then when I print to PDF, the file names would match automatically.
