is there a way to renumber sheets in the sheet set manager? i've got over 100 sheets and i need to insert some new sheets in the middle. there wasn't a way in 2009 but i was hoping for something in 2012. it seems like something that would be included by now.

way to renumber an entire sheet set without having to stop at each subset? Currently, I right click on a sheet and select "rename & renumber". The Rename and Renumber dialog box pops up and I type "1" then click on "next", type "2", "next", and so on. This continues until the end of the subset, the stops. Then I have to right click on a sheet in the next subset and start over.
I want to renumber the whole plan set without stopping at each subset. Obviously, I can get rid of the subsets, but that isn't my question. I want to keep the subsets and have the ability to renumber the whole set.
How to open multiple sheets using sheet set manager? In our office we have some machines that do and some that don't. Is there a variable to change? I know its possible I just don't know how to do it.
View 9 Replies View Related In fact, some of the things I've found online refer that you cannot automatically replace entire Titleblock Templates for existing Sheets in the Sheet Set Manager. So, here's my question:
Can you replace all existing Sheets in a Sheet Set with an entirely new Template file automatically, without opening each Sheet and re-inserting the Title block?
Example:
Let's say I have a Sheet Set. Inside the Sheet Set, I already have 20 sheets created. I then realize that my Template file is missing our company logo. I then have to open the Template file and insert my company logo. Well, this works for all newly created sheets from that point forward, but how can I get this change to automatically populate in the existing 20 Sheets that are already in the Sheet Set?
How to automatically renumber the sheets if re-sorting occurs?
I’m not sure if there is a way to automatically renumber the sheets in sequential order in case of re-sorting the sheets. This might occur very often during the work!
For example, in the screenshot below, I wanted to re-numbering the sheets AUTOMATICALLY such that the numbers of the sheets starts from 1 to 6.
Then how to automatically re-number the sheets in sequential order automatically?

How people deal with multiple revisions of one sheet with sheet set manager, basically I want the cover sheet of drawings to have a list of drawings including the revision letter and revision date and on each individual sheet keep track of historical revisions
There is the current sheet revision and date fields.Does everyone usually just update these and manually keep track of historical revisions else where in there title block?
I was creating a new sheet set in the sheet set manager as I have created new drawings to be added to the old one. When I do this and browse to the directory of drawings, once I hit next it only wants to create a sheet with a few drawings in the directory. There are 22 drawings in the directory and is leaving out about 18 when it creates the sheet set.

I used to be able to just double click on a layout tab and change it. This dialogue box can't seem to edit it if the drawing is open. We use the layout the tab as current revision of drawing.
I know I accidentally click on yes before when it asked me if I want to use the dialogue box to edit layout tabs but can't seem to find anything on how to disable it.

Today, my question is about sheet set manager for civil 3D drawings.When I doing create sheet set, in the 3rd step "Choose Layouts", I browse the folder which is stored my all of drawings into the sheet set manager dialogue window. But only part of drawings inserted. All of Civil 3D drawing (included plans and profiles) did not into it
View 6 Replies View RelatedBasically, I want to get the sheet set to automatically label in my title block the TOTAL sheets of the sheetset. I have a field within each drawing for the current page number of the sheetset, that is an easy one, what is hard is how do I code the second field to display the LAST page of the sheetsets page number?
Example:
My text looks like this: Page 4 / 10. Say I have 10 sheets, all in the sheetset and numbered. What I have done in the past is set the first page number to Current Sheet Page Number, but in each sheet set the second part to the last page number, in this case sheet 10. The problem comes later if I add in a sheet or two, to push the total sheets to say 12, I would then have to go through each sheet individually to change that last page component to sheet 12 instead of 10.
Is there an easy way (and Im sure there is) to just set that last field to automatically reference the page number of the final sheet in the sheetset, no matter if it changes or not? How do you do it?

I am struggling to get SSM to work in C3D. I have never really used it in normal AutoCAD, so totally new to it. I have setup a plan an profile *.dwt template with our companies title block in it, and populated the attributs with sheet set fields. But when I go through the Plan & Production process, it populates the SSM with mny sheets, but I dont think it has used my fields, as when I right click the sheets and go to properties, I cannot see the custom fields I put in the title block. What is the process of getting these fields into my SSM?

I've discovered that I must carefully move my mouse pointer down the left column that precedes the entries in order to select any of them. Autodesk, could you fix this so that anywhere on each item is selectable and the recent list stays open until the mouse moves off of it?

Autocad crashes when printing PDF from sheet manager
Project plotted fine before
I'm trying to create a new titleblock for a company I just started with that wants to make the move to AutoCAD. I have a couple of years drafting exp but I'm still learning the finer points of setting up a virgin system. So, I've drafted a titleblock which I'm trying to add attributes to, and I think I'm very close to having it all sorted out but I'm stuck at the moment. See below:
A breakdown of what I've done: Created title block and added attributes for all values we'll be taking from sheet sets (i.e. client name, revision numbers, revision dates}. This titleblock is saved as its own drawing and the attributes are in that drawing. The attributes have tags only- no default data or prompts Created a "Dummy" sheet set with all custom properties needed for future sheet sets/projects (i.e. client name, revision numbers, revision dates. Created a New Drawing using the sheet set manager, with our company's current drawing template.Purged all old title blocks from the new drawing Inserted the new title block (Bullet point 1) with attributes into layout 1.When prompted, I inserted the field for each corresponding attribute.
At first everything looked fine. Sheet number was correct, sheet title was correct, even a couple of the custom properties were alright and displaying properly in the layout. BUT THEN I noticed that a few attributes weren't showing up at all in the layout. When I would edit the title block itself, all of the attributes would be there but when I would try to insert a field into their 'default' parameters, the 'custom sheet set' properties wouldn't exist (like this sheet was not associated with this sheet set). But some of the attributes in the block WOULD be able to reference the custom sheet set properties, so that's not the issue.
My issues are inconsistent. Some attributes work, some don't, some update according to sheet set properties in the layout, others change in the block editor.
Is all of this weirdness being caused by the fact that my attributes are within a block? And does that mean that I have to define attributes in the Drawing template instead?
I am looking for a step by step Sheet Set Manager tutorial that includes a dataset since there are many interdependencies that must exist to use certain features. Ideally it would be nice to have videos as well (YouTube is great but there are no datasets and it is too haphazard).
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently (In the past 6 months) I have noticed that Sheet Set Manager is very slow when trying to do anything. It takes at least 45 seconds for a box to appear when right clicking on SSM to publish or change properties. Every user in our office has the same problem. I am not sure if this is a network problem or if it is a problem with C3D ?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to set up a sheet set manager template which uses a specific client titleblock, which due to the work I do is quite frequent.
I would like to insert as many fields into the title block that refer to custom properties in the Sheet Set. In particual some common fields point to the actaul Sheet Set custom properties (eg Client Name), and some point to the actual sheets custom properites (eg Title). I have set up a sheet set with a range of custom properties attached to both the Sheet Set and the Sheet.
However, I cant figure out how to set up the titleblock template to read in this information for each new sheet I create.
I open my template file, insert fields as required and try to point the fields to the sheet sets file. However I cant point to the custom properties for a sheet unless there is a sheet open. When I do this, all new sheets are created with the fields using the original sheet values - I wanted to update these based on custom properties I set for each sheet.
Even though I know how to work arouind this, it still takes me 2 or 3 times to pick one from the list.

I'm trying to incorporate in my new workplace the Sheet Set in our plan production.
But one of the powerfull thing of the SSM is to publish multiple (or single) sheets at a time.
Well, i tryed it since a few months in and out publishing via the style sheet on the sheet set template i'm building and it doesn't print.
The publishing icon in the status bar of civil 3d 2012 keeps on going for ever !!! (Even when i cancel the job, it doesn't stop the icone, like it's jamed)
Btw, even if i pass by a drawing that isnt in the SSM and choose several layouts to publish it does the same thing too.
I use to do this on a 2008 version of Autocad.
Using : Autodesk Civil 3D 2012
OS : Windows 7 - 64 bit pro
I have made all my sheets through the Plan Production wizards. When I go to sheet set manager, and select publish to pdf, i get an error saying the following:
ERROR: Layout not found..By using one tab per drawing, seems to publish ok. But we want multiple tabs per drawing, so not really any use to us.
I'm not up to speed in configuring title blocks with sheet set manager and I've come into this situation unexpectedly.
I had to come up with a set of P&P sheets in a hurry to assist a contractor in providing a rough estimate for a sewer run, so I generated the sheets using the preconfigured imperial sheet set template. Afterwards I've switched out the border and title block generated by the template with our standard blocks. Our block attributes are old school and do not use fields. Now I am trying to upgrade those old attributes by replacing them with fields that reference the Sheet Set attributes.
Here is the problem: when inserting the field for the sheet number I can either use the CurrentSheetNumber or the SheetSetPlaceholder attribute. If I use CurrentSheetNumber, the title block shows the correct sheet number for the current sheet (the sheet I am making the edits from). However all the other sheets show that same number. In other words the fields do not show the corresponding sheet numbers from SSM. If I use SheetSetPlaceholder none of the title blocks will update to show the sheet number.
I believe I should be using the placeholder field but I can't get it to synchronize it with the SSM. Is there a way to make this work?

I have a set of Design Drawings on my desk that I need to produce a set of Record Drawings. The Design Drawings are a combination of three original contracts so the file paths for these drawings are scattered thru three project folders. Is there an easy way to create a new Sheet Manager for my Record Drawings. If I open the original Design Drawings and use "Save As" then the drawings being saved to the new Record Drawing Sheet Manager are all tied to the original Design Sheet Manager.
To copy the drawings to the Record folder I will have to open them and relink all xrefs besides having to determine the file path of each drawing to be sure I am copying the correct files to the Record Drawing Folder. Is the easiest solution to use "Save As" and insert a new border with the corrected "Fields' so they are now connected to the Record Drawing Sheet Manager?
How to add the sheet description field into the rename & renumber window? I ask this because during the sheet set-up process we use the sheet description often, and I would like to go from sheet to sheet without having to right click and edit every sheet.

I am in the process of creating the cross section sheets and including them to an existing sheet set manager. When I try to create them I get an error saying "Sheet Set not created" which is odd because I selected add to existing ssm. If I save and exit out of the drawing and then get back into it, the sheets are created correctly in my layout tabs, but aren't added to my ssm.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using the sheet set manager with very few problems for years until - you guessed it - I was upgraded to Windows 7 OS v6.1 and Civil3D 2012 IDS.
Up until then, I was able to open layouts in different drawing files through the sheet set manager while in an open file. Now, I get an error message (see attached) and have to close the file I'm in to open the other.
I can open files through the regular file open command and have more than one open at the same time, but it takes away the convenience of using the sheet set manager to avoid having to browse to the desired sheet layouts when copyclipping sheet layout drawing elements from one file to another.
I have studied every sheet set system variable to see if that was the problem, but could not find an answer. I have the same problem in Civil3D 2010. It happens to new and existing sheet sets in both versions and sheet sets made before the Windows update.

I have entered the custom properties, then when I go to the title block and try to insert the fields with current sheet set custom the drop down box is empty and then when I try to type in the custom property name the link still does not function. Is there some trick that I'm missing, or is this function broken on AutoCad 2013?
