Republish a Drawing Set

You can easily republish lists of drawing sheets that you previously saved in the Drawing Set Descriptions (DSD) file format.

After drawings have been updated, you may want to republish a drawing set for viewing or plotting. You can easily republish a collection of drawing sheets that you've saved a description of as a DSD (Drawing Set Descriptions) file. You can also load and republish BP3 (Batch Plot) files.
