Add or Remove Files and Sheets from the Plot List

Files and sheets can be added to an existing plot list or to an empty plot list.

  • Select File > Plot. The Plot Manager dialog is displayed.

  • In the Plot Manager dialog, click Actions and then select the source from which to add files or sheets.

    • Add Files: browse the vault for specific files to add to the list and select the revision to use. Any file type can be added. If a CAD file is selected, the file is examined to determine which sheets to add to the plot list.

    • Add Folders: browse the vault for a folder containing files to add to the list. If the selected folder contains subfolders, the contents of the subfolders are added as well.

      Note: Select the Get Revisions check box to select the newest released revisions available. Otherwise, the command gets the latest versions.
    • Add Related File Sheets: browse the vault for an assembly file or a part file. All the sheets for all of the drawings related to the assembly structure are added to the list. If a part file is selected, all of the drawings associated with the part are added to the plot list.

Files and sheets can be excluded from a plot list.

  • Select File > Plot. The Plot Manager dialog is displayed.

  • In the Plot Manager dialog, select a row and then click Exclude.

    For example, if a .dwg file is added that contains unwanted Model sheets, sort the plot list by the sheet column. Select the unwanted Model sheets and then click Exclude to eliminate them from the plot job.

    Note: Once a sheet is removed, the file must be re-added to re-add the sheet.
