I couldn't remember if I tried posting here yet or not, and I couldn't find a thread by me, about it, if I did, so sorry if I'm repeating myself.
I have my drawings set up so that we have a file in each job folder named "X-TB.dwg" and this is a file meant to be xref'd into each drawing file into the only layout tab the file has (one sheet per file) as the title block.
I have a couple fields in this.
One is the 'ctab' sysvar callout that displays the sheet description in the appropriate box in the title block.
Second is the 'filename' sysvar which, with our naming habits, will place the sheet number into the title block.
The X-TB.dwg file has all the geometry and stuff in model space.
The S-01.dwg file, for example, will have the X-TB.dwg attached to the layout. S-01.dwg will have the layout named "Foundation Plan" for example.
Thus, when printed, the file will show "S-01" in the title block as sheet number, and "Foundation Plan" as the sheet desc.
This works okey-dokey supremo when using the singular "plot" command.
This does -NOT- work hunky dorey when using PUBLISH. When using PUBLISH, it prints "X-TB" as the sheet number, and "MODEL" as the sheet desc.
This means it's pulling the variables from the X-TB.dwg file, and not the drawing it is attached to as an xref.
Big problem, as I cannot, now, use publish.
