I am using the Sheet Set options to creat my Sheet Index. It imports everything just fine. My issue is when I want to create a space between sections the option to add a row is greyed out. For ex I would like my sheet index to look similer to the following
S1.01
S1.11
S1.41
S2.01
S2.03
S3.01
ETC.
Is there a way to do this using the sheet index option in Sheet Set manager?
I am not able to open Sheet list in Sheet Set Manager.......
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up a title block template that will be used between several different sheet sets. 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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHow 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'm fairly new to Autocad and getting used to using sheet set manager. What I'm experiencing is, when you insert a model view it brings in an xref of that model, but i'm then unsure how to add additional xref models into the same view.
For example I have a separate ground floor plan file and OS data file which I want to show in the one sheet view without nesting the OS data to the original ground floor file.
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.

How do I create a sheet index on my Title Sheet? Do I create a Table? If so, how? I've never created one before. I kept seeing references to the Sheet Set Manager...I don't know what that is or where to find it...
I'm pretty adept at scheduling, etc. and feel confident that I can do this, but I just need the initial steps.... I thought that I could just grab a piece of text on the title sheet and insert a field that references the Sheet Set...clearly that ain't the way!!!
We have this very cool tool that automatically creates a custom sheet property (IndexNo) and indexes all sheets in the active sheet set. Unfortunately, it doesn't run in 2012 and the guy that wrote the application no longer works for us.
View 7 Replies View RelatedUsing Set Sheet Manager, I am trying to create an Office Standard Sheet Index Table.
I have begun by copying the Standard table and modifying it. I have adjusted the cell styles to reflect our colors and text types and sizes. I have also added two additional columns for revision number and revision date.
I have tried saving the new table ... and inserting a new table through the sheet set manager
the only tables i can bring in include the 2 original columns (sheet number and sheet title) and specified text font, size and color are maintained, but the additional columns and the column width are lost.
Ideally i would like the office format to be maintained...with little or no modification required of the user.
I am starting over here at work. I am using and familiar with SSM. However, i want some feed back on some of your practices on where you keep the DST files and other basic setting. I want to make sure i am not missing something or overlooking a better (efficient) way to keep everything organized.
currently I have created a "template" DST file and keep it in a subfolder for the project that is currently being worked in. I like this because when we archive the job folder; everything that goes with that job gets zipped/archived.
I have been thinking about putting all the DST files in one "SSM" folder in the root folder list of our projects...
I am having trouble plotting the lines from my drawings. From sheet set manager. It plots the image, text and border xref but when the lines start to plot they turn off in task manager from gis all turn to exclamation points. These lines are in the background from gis.

I have not had any problems with other folders. I even tried moving the drawing file to a different folder, but SSM still does not add it to the sheet set list. I have tried re-booting and nothing.

My company just purchased AutoCAD 2013 and I'm in the process of converting our titleblock to work with the sheet set manager. Here are my steps I've taken:
1. Edit existed titleblock to add fields. Example: set our existing project name field to "CurrentSheetSetProjectName"
2. Create a sheet set using the titlbock DWT as my template for new sheets.
3. Typed "Test" into the default project name field that is created with new sheet sets
4. Clicked "Update fields" in the ribbon
After following those steps, I expected the project name to update to "Test". Am I missing something?
I'm using Autocad LT2012 and I have a problem with the "print to PDF" from the Sheet Set Manager.
The layouts are all set to "publish to a plotter" with the Layout option (not Window, Extent, etc.).vWhen I send the print to the plotter from the SSM, they print fine. If I send them to PDF, they are printed slightly off and one side is cut out.
I have tried on one of the layouts to change the plotting device from our plotter to "DWG to PDF" and indeed the drawing results to be slightly off, because the plotting area shifts. So, I guess this is the problem.
I have checked many forums and different solutions. One solution is to use Window or Extent as plotting area with Centred option on, so to avoid any cut due to shifts of the layout.
I have two questions:
1. Is there any way to work around this problem keeping the Layout plotting area option?
2. If there is not, how can I now change more than fifty layouts, that are now set on Layout, to Extent or Window, without having to go through them all one by one? (I tried the override option, but it really doesn't work as layouts are printed with different ctb and it keeps printing off, anyway)
How to create sheet set manager and how to use them? Need brief of steps regarding this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I do a drawing I have about 20 different paper space tabs. I then use these tabs for floor plans, sections, details, elevations, etc.
I've tried to set up some sheet sets to use A1, A2, A3, and A10, these 4 pages go into one drawing set.
I setup a new sheet set to use A4, A5, A6, and A10, but the sheet set manager won't allow me to use A10 again because it was used already in a previous sheet set.
The sheet set manager works great for for printing all sheets into one set. But this shortcoming has forced me to use the publish command and save my sheets to .dsd files.
I have 64 bit machine, Windows 7, kipp plotter, and two sharp printers.
When I send a sheet set manager plot to any of my output devices I get an autocad error. That boots me out of Autocad. I have used this in the past with 32 bit machine, Windows XP , kip plotter and two sharp printers and have had no issues. It worked great.
I have an issue with Sheet Set Manager Locking the .dst file to one user, others can only open the file read only.
I am working on a network that uses Linux.
I have been using sheetset manager for several years and think its great but this causes a problem on large projects that need to have multiple users.
The below is an interesting link that i have recently become aware of but it doesnt say whether this fixed the issue or not.

I have this problem logged with Autodesk but I have not got anything definitive.
I have set up a title block template I plan to use for ALL of my drawings.
I fallowed this website and PDF file at bottom: [URL]......
Great resource and very good explanation step by step which was what I was looking for; the problem I'm having is all his files are set up specifically for one project and I'm having difficulty setting it up for me.
I have everything finished but when I open my project .dwg file and SSM then new SSM file from template and customize the options everything looks fine however when I go to open a new sheet; yes it does open the template .dwt file however it completely open the whole .dwg file of the template so my viewport is the template viewport not my project .dwg file......
How do I get SSM to open new layout/paper spaces with the title block template but the viewport of my current project .dwg file.
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've created a Sheet Set and added custom properties for things such as Drawn By, Checked By and such. Whenever I link my title block to these fields, the value shows up but when I change the value in the Sheet Set properties, the value is not automatically updated. I have to manually redirect it to the field. Why isn't it being updated automatically?

View 4 Replies View Relatedmy only issue is the rename of the layouts and file options.... There really is only 1 way to rename the layout... Either to do it or not.. Then there is a "sub" option, if you will, to prefix with the sheet number... However, if the sheet title is is over 64 characters long... it will not rename the layout tab, unless you uncheck "Prefix with sheet number" I really do not need the layout tab to have the name. and besides. it always just cuts off the title anyway. "ULTIMATE TAILINGS FAC..." That isnt even useful.
However, I'd like the layout tab to just be the sheet number. thats it.. just the sheet number... and still have it work in SSM.
I have been using Sheet Set Manager but lately I have noticed that the drawing previews are missing. Is there to make SSM show drawing previews?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a SSM set up with both Sheet Custom Properties and Sheet Set Custom Properties.
When I start a new project, i can populate both areas of the main SSM. I'll create my sheets and have them self populated by the "root" SSM settings (if you will)well now, lets say i need to change the date of the sheets from the past.. to the future submittal date. I set it in the "Sheet Custom Properties" in the "root" SSM and then I have to go to each sheet; right click --> Properties each sheet and change the custom properties.
Basically, is there a way to have the sheets (after created) to automatically update to the new date?
What is the purpose of call out blocks and how are they used with sheet set manager?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI thought when a person uses a field named CREATEDATE it would be a creation date time stamp. When creating a new drawing by layout and you check the creation date by using the time command you get the correct date of creation. The Sheet set manager field called CREATEDATE is not consistant. If I save the drawing this field changes the date to the current date. So I ask is this a flaw or should the field be renamed to lastsaveddate? Just asking because when I look for the Create Date I need the date I actually created the drawing not the last time I saved it. Just saying.
