1. Purpose
Bumps the sheet numbers of the selected sheets up one notch in a single click — the tool sorts by the sheet-number text and works from the largest string down, so a run of same-width numbers (E-101, E-102, ...) shifts without collisions. Use it when inserting new sheets mid-set: push the whole run up to free the gap.

3. Steps
- In the Project Browser, select the sheets to bump (hold Ctrl for many) — or select a schedule sitting on a sheet. [image 01: sheets selected in the Project Browser]
- Click Increment number in the VP_LAYOUT tab, Sheets panel.
- The tool sorts sheets by the sheet-number text (largest string first), bumps each, and reports: OK lines read "old -> new", SKIP lines carry a reason for sheets left alone. [image 02: increment result table]
4. Real-world example
The electrical set runs E-101 to E-110 and 2 new detail sheets must slot in after E-103. Select E-104 through E-110, run the command — the run slides up one notch to E-105…E-111 and frees E-104; run it again and the run moves to E-106…E-112, freeing E-105 for the second sheet, with no duplicate-number clash.
5. Common errors
| Symptom (tool message, Vietnamese) | Fix |
|---|---|
| "Hãy chọn sheet trên Project Browser hoặc chọn Schedule trên Sheet trước khi chạy lệnh." | Nothing selected — select sheets in the Project Browser (or a schedule on a sheet), then rerun |
| SKIP "Không tìm thấy cụm số để dịch chuyển.", "Không thể đọc giá trị số hiện tại." or "Sheet number rỗng." | The sheet number has no shiftable numeric cluster, cannot be read, or is empty — renumber that sheet by hand |
| FAIL line starting "FAIL:" | The target number already belongs to another sheet — with mixed-width numbers (9, 10) the run can collide with itself, so renumber that sheet by hand and rerun |
