Sheet Tab Reference (Document Settings)

Sets the default labels for sheets, and sets the colors for elements on sheets in a drawing or template.

Access

Ribbon: Tools tab Options panel Document Settings . In the dialog box, click the Sheet tab.

Default Sheet Label

Sets the default label assigned to a new sheet in the drawing browser when no previous sheet exists. Click in the label value box and enter the label.

New sheets use the label assigned to the first sheet and the label name setting has no effect. Labels on new sheets bear incremental numbers (for example, Sheet:1, Sheet:2, Sheet:3).

Tip: After you enter a new label value, delete any existing sheets that use the previous label value. The new label value is used.
Sheet Formats

Check the Delete all existing template sheets box to delete the pre-existing sheets in a template.
