About Publishing Sheets and Sheet Sets

After you have organized drawings into a sheet set, you can publish the sheet set as a package.

Use the Publish feature to output the sheet set or a saved sheet set selection to a plotter in either normal or reverse order. If you select a layout to publish, only that layout is added to the Batch Publish dialog box. You can create single and multiple-sheet PDF files from a sheet set or portion of a sheet set.

Use Page Setups

Page setups provide the settings that are used for publishing and printing. When you create a project, you can specify a drawing template (DWT) file that contains one or more page setups for all new layouts. This DWT file is called the sheet creation template.

Another DWT file, called the page setup overrides file, contains page setups that can be specified to override the page setups in each sheet. You specify the page setup overrides file in the Sheet Set Manager.

When you publish a sheet set, you can use the page setups defined in each drawing file, you can use the page setup overrides for all drawing files, or you can publish to a PDF file.

Note: With page setup overrides, you can use the PUBLISHCOLLATE system variable to control whether plotting a sheet set can be interrupted by other plot jobs or not.
