Automated list of drawings

[fred400]

Hi you guys,

I'm doing drawings for HVAC projects.
I'm looking for a way to make a list of all drawing (index) based on the drawing in a specific folder.
Including: file name (drawing number), Drawing title

Is there a easy way ?

Thanks

Well, it's not really a visio question. It's a question of writing some simple code to do directory searches based on some filtering requirements. What would you do with the list?

I want to do a Index page in visio saying
1000 - Network architecture
1001 - RTU 1
1002 - RTU 2
and on ......

The list would be added to a visio drawing

I thought this was an interesting place to start. A little modification and it could be used to provide the search you wanted.

You might check John Marshall's site (visio.mvps.org) and he has examples of creating TOCs for Visio (admittedly the demo code is used to put lists of pages, but should be easily adapted also).
