We have to prepare layouts for the drawings\nthat we plan to use in the sheet set. We have to create title block with\nrequired fields and attributes before creating the layout view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now, let\u2019s consider that you have\nprepared the layouts with required views and details. Create a new folder and\nname it as \u201cSheet Set<\/em>\u201d. Copy all the\ndrawings that contain the layout views to be used in Sheet set. This folder can\nbe placed in your local drive or over a network. For this exercise, I\u2019m\ncreating the folder in the desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Launch AutoCAD and open a new file. In the new file type the command SSM on the command line and press enter. This launches the Sheet Set Manager palette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the palette click on the drop-down menu next to \u201cOpen\u201d at the top and select \u201cNew Sheet Set\u201d from the list. Then select the \u201cExisting Drawings\u201d button from Create Sheet set wizard and click next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Specify desired name for your sheet set in\nthe Name field and enter a description. In my tutorial I\u2019m giving the name as \u201cDemo-Sheet Set<\/em>\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Click the box next to the \u201cStore Sheet Set<\/em>\u201d and select the folder\nfrom desktop. This saves the Sheet set file in the same folder on the desktop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The extension for Sheet Set file is\n\u201cname.dst\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To update the Project properties click on\nSheet Set Properties button as shown in the image above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Properties dialog box specify\nProject number and Project name under the heading \u201cProject Control\u201d and click\nOK then click Next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the \u201cChoose Layouts\u201d page click on \u201cBrowse\u201d\nbutton and add the Sheet Set folder from the desktop. The drawings and layouts\nare listed in a hierarchical order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can remove the drawings and layouts which you don\u2019t want to include in the sheet set and click Next, then click Finish. The created Sheet Set will be updated in the Sheet Set Manager palette, with all the selected layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the existing Sheet Set we can create\nsubsets. To create a subset right click on the name \u201cDemo_Sheet Set\u201d and select\nNew Subset from the menu. Specify the name for the new subset as\n\u201cArchitectural\u201d and click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can drag and drop desired layouts under\nthe new subset. Multiple layouts can be moved by pressing CTRL key as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can assign default templates for a new sheet created in the Sheet Set Manager. To set the default template select the sheet set then right click and select properties from the menu. Specify the template location for the properties as shown in the image below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To Print \/ Publish all the layouts in the Sheet Set, right click on the name and hover over the Publish from the menu. From the sub menu you can choose to publish to DWF, DWFx, PDF and Plotters. You can also Print \/ Publish required layouts by using CTRL key, then right click and choose Publish option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Know more<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in learning more about AutoCAD Sheet Set then you can enroll in AutoCAD Course<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AutoCAD Sheet set manager is palette in AutoCAD which has very best features that can be used to manage our drawings.
