| Maintain Device ID |
This check-box determines whether or not device IDs on the renumbered pages will be changed automatically to match the new page number. When the check-box is selected, the device IDs will be left as they are. When the check-box is not selected, device IDs on the renumbered page will reflect the new page/line number (assuming this is part of the device tag format you are using). When the check-box is selected, you can use the drop-down list beside this field to select: |

Rules for Renumber Page
A page cannot be renumbered using a number used by another page. This will cause a Page already exists error message to appear. A page cannot be numbered backward to a page number of less than zero. If this is attempted, a dialog with the message Page cannot be renumbered will appear.
The following illustration shows an installation containing five drawing pages, numbered 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. There is no page 3. Pages 1 and 2 could be renumbered forward one position (+1) in which case they would become pages 2 and 3, respectively. They could not be renumbered forward two positions (+2) because this would conflict with the existing page 4. However, they could be moved ahead six positions (+6) where they would become pages 7 and 8.
Pages 1 and 2 could also be renumbered backward one position (-1) where they would become pages 0 and 1. They could not be moved back any further than this.
