As a follow-up to the posting How to Change the AutoCAD Layout Background Color in response to a Twitter request, I showed how to change the Layout paper background color. The course is prepared for a very basic user so you will be able to create and modify your own sheet sets in no time whith this course even when you have never used them before.Updating and this popular post from a year ago. If you are interested in learning more about AutoCAD sheet set then you can enroll in this AutoCAD sheet set course which I have prepared for Pluralsight. You can also publish layouts selectively, for that select the layouts which you want to publish using CTRL key then right click and select Publish option. To Plot all of these layouts select the sheet set then right-click and select Publish then publish to Dwfx, pdf, Physical plotter or any other format which you require. You can also assign the “Page setup override” template in the Sheet Set panel of properties palette as shown in the image below.
Locate the Sheet creation template option and specify the template which you want to use. To set the default Sheet Set template select the sheet set then right click and select properties from the contextual menu. You can specify some properties to the Sheet Set as a default template and override template, when a new sheet is created in the Sheet Set Manager it will take the properties from the assigned template. You can select and move multiple layouts by pressing CTRL key as well. You can now move layouts under the subset by selecting them and moving then under the subset by simple drag and drop. Specify the name of the new subset and click OK. To make a subset right click on the Sheet set name and select New Subset from the contextual menu. Creating SubsetsĬurrently, you will see a list of all layouts in the Sheet List tab, you can organize these layouts into subsets. The sheet set will be created and a list of all layouts will be populated in the sheet Set Manager palette. Uncheck the layouts which you don’t want to include in the sheet set and click Next then click Finish.
You will see a list of all drawings with layout views in a hierarchical order.
Now click on browse and add the SheetSet folder containing all layout views to it. Specify Project number and Project name in Project Control panel of Properties palette and click OK then click Next. Now click on Sheet Set Properties button as shown in the image above. The sheet set file is saved with DST extension and it contains all the information related to your sheet set. Click on the box next to Store Sheet set file field and specify the folder where you want to save this sheet set file, I am specifying the SheetSet folder of the desktop for saving Sheet set file. Select Existing drawings radio button from Create sheet set wizard and click on next.Įnter the name of your sheet set in the Name Field and also a description if you want, I am naming it as Example Sheet. Sheet Set Manager palette will open, click on the drop-down menu at the top of this palette and select New Sheet Set from the list. Now open a blank drawing and type SSM on the command line and press enter. For this example, I have placed all of my layout drawings in the SheetSet folder on the desktop. Before creating layout views it is also advisable to make title block, label and callout blocks with fields and attributes that can be used to build intelligence in the layouts and for cross-referencing data.įor this case, I will assume that you have already prepared a set of layouts containing title block and views and you have all of these layouts in a single folder on local or network drive. If your drawing is in model view then you need to prepare layouts from that for using in the sheet set.

Using sheet set you can also reduce dependency on windows explorer or other third party tools for file management and it can be used even when you have hundreds of layouts or drawings to manage. Each subset of the palette can have project layouts related to a particular discipline. Sheet set manager can be used to organize layouts, drawing views and other project related information in meaningful categories called subsets.
