That's it....we're re-typing the sheet list in a text box!"."Wait! Did you check if the "Appears in Drawing List" parameter is checked for the missing sheets?", ...

If you type CAL on the command line, at the Expression prompt you can type a formula and AutoCAD will return the answer. For example, an expression could be as simple as: 1+1 …one plus one, or… 5*2 …five times two, or… 5*(100-40) …one hundred minus forty, times five. The possibilities are endless. It is important to understand the syntax of CAL expressions. There is also quite a list of standard numeric functions in AutoCAD. ...

You cannot turn off, freeze or change the color of a layer if the layer name contains the characters "#", "@", or "~" because these characters are wildcards in the new Layer Properties Manager. Hopefully it will be fixed in a coming Update. Autodesk Knowledge Base article including a couple of workarounds.
