Consolidate drawing files. Move the drawing files to be used in the project into a small number of folders. This will simplify project administration.
Eliminate multiple layout tabs. Each drawing you plan to use in the project should have only one layout to be used as a layout in the project. This is important for access to sheets by multiple users. Only one sheet in each drawing can be open at a time.
Create a project template. Create or identify a drawing template (DWT) file to be used by the sheet set for creating new sheets. You specify this template file in the Project Properties dialog box or the Subset Properties dialog box.
Create a page setup overrides file. Create or identify a DWT file to store page setups for plotting and publishing. This file, called the page setup overrides file, can be used to apply a single page setup to all layouts in a project, overriding the individual page setups stored in each drawing.
