Hey guys,

Havent been on this forum for a while, hope you are all well.
I wonder if anyone could help me with following.
I'm working on fairly large project that requires 200+ drawings so in order to save time I want to make as much use as possible from publish option.

So what I'd like to achieve: each layout name has format JobNo-SheetNo-RevNo and that would be the pdf output name for each file using publish.
Optionally it would be great (probably impossible) if each part of the layout name could be connected via fields (or any other way)with title block. I know about ctab, but jobNo, SheetNo, and RevNo are in different locations in title block)
The issue: RevNo will change with each issue and this is no updating. 

Is there any way to update the layout name when loading dsd file into publish manager? Or is there any workaround? How you deal with revisions?

Thank you for your suggestions
