Hi Varun, It depends what you want to do with the determined total page count value. There is a built in variable called TOTAL_DESIGN_SHEETS which you can say add to a page format symbol (using Text->Custom text) to show "sheet x of y" information, where x would be the variable CURRENT_DESIGN_SHEET. I am not sure if you can access these variables for anything else though.

Counting page files in sch_1 folder is not an option since it won't work, if the hierarchical symbol is instantiated more than once. Ideas are appreciated. Thanks, Varun Qualcomm Inc. San Diego, CA
