Use this procedure to create a sheet set template based on a sheet set in an existing project. Settings applied here are overridden if you redirect top-level categories on the Project Property dialog box in the project in which the sheet set is located.
The Create Sheet Set wizard is displayed. It will help you create a new sheet set template.
If you want to… | Then… |
---|---|

If you are creating a sheet set template for an AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset project, selecting Create a folder hierarchy based on subsets will have no impact because sheet subsets in the Drawing Explorer will have corresponding folders associated to them automatically. If you are creating a sheet set template for an AutoCAD sheet set, you can select this option. This will create a new subfolder in the sheet set every time you create a new sheet subset in the Sheet Set Manager.
The Sheet Set Properties dialog box is displayed.
It is not necessary to complete the following fields when you use the sheet set template for an AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset project:
Field | Reason |
---|---|
Sheet set data file | The DST file is always stored in the root folder of the project. |
Model view | Model view drawing locations are not tracked in AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset sheet sets. They are automatically taken from the project views. In an AutoCAD sheet set, this field displays the paths and names of folders that contain drawings used by the sheet set. |
Label block for views | These are stored in the view templates. |
Callout blocks | These are located on the Tools palette. |
Name, Number, Phase, Milestone under Project Control | You associate project information with the project file (APJ), instead of the project sheet set, when you are working in an AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset project. Note: If you enter a project name and project number under Project Control in the Sheet Sets Properties dialog box that differs from the project name and number you entered when you created the project, you will get an error message when editing the project, and be prompted to consolidate the information. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to leave the Project Control fields in the sheet set template empty.
|
Sheet storage location | The sheets in a project are always stored in the Sheets folder of the project, or in one of its subfolders. |
None of the other settings under Sheet Set are applied when using the sheet set template for an AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset project.
If you want to… | Then… |
