Hi, Taco=E2=80=94

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried it with= \incrementcounter before and after the TEXpage. Sadly, neither worked.

This mwe is an attempt to capture the f= ailure of the following in processing a product with numerous components:

\definecounter[volpage][type=3Dpage, way=3Dbypage]

[]

[{\centerline{\raise\NumberRaise\hbox{\ra= wcounter[volpage]}}

\incrementcounter[volpage]}]

[{\centerline{\raise= \NumberRaise\hbox{\rawcounter[volpage]}}

\incrementcounter[volpage]}]

[]

=C2=A0

If your suggestion=C2= =A0had worked, I would have had difficulty in applying it.

Hi,

Incrementing the counter outside of the TEXpage should work.

Best wishes,
Taco
