Thanks Charlie,

That’s what I planned on using it (and in fact did you use it) but found a bug 
wherein module_order.dat wouldn’t update with the new (latest) page information 
upon deleting a page using Edit > Page > Delete command.

I see Christopher Shaw just replied…I think his method may work.

The recipe lies in the content of the module_order.dat file in the sch_1 
directory.

Folks,

Is there a way to programmatically determine the total number of pages in a 
hierarchical design in Allegro Design Entry HDL v16.3?

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,
