Create a sheet list table

00:03

The sheet set manager is a great way to organize all of the sheets

00:08

in a project so that you can access them from a single location.

00:12

You can also include this sheet list as textual

00:15

information on one of the sheets in your project

00:19

and then use this table of contents to quickly open any of the sheets in the list.

00:26

Open the sheet set manager. If it is not already open

00:30

in the sheet set manager,

00:32

expand the drop down and choose open,

00:36

navigate to the sheet set dash 03 folder,

00:41

select the townhouse dot DS T file

00:45

and click open,

00:49

open the sheet onto which you want to add the sheet list table.

00:53

Since this would typically be the cover sheet

00:57

in the sheet set manager, palette,

00:59

double click the T dash 01 sheet

01:04

to insert a sheet list table

01:07

in the sheet set manager.

01:09

Right? Click the sheet set title

01:13

and choose insert sheet list table.

01:17

The program displays the sheet list table, dialogue,

01:21

select a table style.

01:24

If you do not have an appropriate table style already established,

01:28

you can create one just as you would when adding any other table to a drawing.

01:33

Remember that since table styles are saved in the drawing,

01:37

you should add the desired table styles to your template drawing

01:41

so that you will always have them available.

01:44

In this case, simply use the default standard table style.

01:50

You can use the tools on the table data tab

01:54

to control the information included in the sheet list table.

01:58

For example, in the title text field, change the table name to

02:03

sheet

02:04

index

02:08

by default, the sheet number and sheet title are included in the list.

02:14

You can use the add and remove buttons to change

02:17

the number of columns included in the sheet list table

02:21

and the move up and move down buttons to change

02:24

the order in which the data will be displayed.

02:28

For example, click add to add a third column,

02:33

then click that new item in the data type column to activate that field.

02:39

When you do a drop down becomes available.

02:43

When you expand the drop down, you see a list of fields that can be included,

02:48

choose sheet description

02:51

to add that column to the sheet list table.

02:55

You can then change the text that appears in the table heading for that new column.

03:01

For example,

03:02

in the heading, text column,

03:04

double click sheet description

03:07

and change it so that it simply says description

03:13

since you do not really want to include that

03:15

new column in the table selected in the list

03:18

and then click remove,

03:22

switch to the subsets and sheets tab

03:26

and make sure that all of the subsets and sheets are selected.

03:32

When you select show sub header,

03:35

you can see in the preview that the sheet

03:37

list table will include a subhead for each subset.

03:42

Clear this check box.

03:45

Once you have finished configuring the sheet list table

03:48

click, OK.

03:51

The dialogue disappears

03:53

and the program prompts you to specify the insertion point for the table.

03:58

Click to place the sheet list table onto the sheet.
