Want to be able to add 10+ sheets to a drawing, but must hit the "New Sheet" button every time.
Is there a way to add multiple sheets at once?
Ideally the New Sheet button would have an input for the number of sheets to add, and where to add them I suppose.

Currently that is not possible.
I seem to remember a posting flying by some time ago, where the same functionality was asked.
Someone solved this with some coding. Can't find it though.

Maybe you will have more luck or someone else has the code handy for you.

If this is happening frequently,
One workaround could be to set up a template which has 10(?) sheets when you use it.

What I do is copy the first sheet into the drawing to create another sheet. It is as simple as CTRL-V.
You can also copy multiple sheets if those are available to copy.
The issue with copying the sheet is that it will copy everything on it, including the drawing views.

If you are going to do what Toost suggests then you may want to add extra sheets to the template file because if sheets are not used they are easily deleted.
