To Set the Properties of the Project Sheet Set

Use this procedure to set the properties of the project sheet set.

The properties of the project sheet set are initially defined by the sheet set template you assigned when you created the project. However, you can change the settings for an individual project.

Note: A number of settings apply only to sheet sets referenced in the AutoCAD Sheet Set Manager. For a sheet set that will be used in an AutoCAD Architecture 2024 toolset project, most settings come from the project, and not from the sheet set template.

The following settings are ignored when you use a sheet set template in an AutoCAD Architecture 2024 toolset project:

• 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 2024 toolset sheet sets. They are automatically taken from the project views.
• Label block for views: Label blocks are not recommended in an AutoCAD Architecture 2024 toolset project. Use callout tools instead.
• Callout blocks: Callout blocks are not recommended in an AutoCAD Architecture 2024 toolset project. Use callout tools instead.
• Sheet storage location: The sheets in a project are always stored in the Sheets folder of the project, or in one of its subfolders.
  Note: If you enter a project name and project number under Project Control that differs from the project name and number you have entered when you created the project, you will get a message when editing the sheet set properties, and be prompted to consolidate the information.
