Add additional layouts to sheet sets

00:04

Sheet sets are a great way to organize and access all of

00:07

the many drawings that you create to document a particular project.

00:11

But what happens if you forgot to include some drawings.

00:14

When you first created the sheet set

00:17

or perhaps a consultant just sent you a new drawing.

00:21

You can use the sheet set manager to import

00:24

additional drawing layouts into an existing sheet set.

00:28

Since the sheets in the sheet set are really nothing

00:31

more than shortcuts or pointers to layouts in drawings.

00:35

When you import a new layout,

00:37

you are simply creating a new pointer to an existing drawing.

00:42

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

00:47

in the sheet set manager,

00:48

click open,

00:51

navigate to the sheet set dash 04 folder,

00:55

select the townhouse dot DS T file

00:59

and click open

01:03

to import a new sheet

01:05

in the sheet set manager.

01:07

You would right click on the sheet list and choose import layout as sheet

01:13

note that where you right click determines where the

01:16

new sheet will be added to the sheet list.

01:20

If you right click on the sheet set name,

01:23

the new sheet will be added to the end of the sheet list.

01:26

If you right click on a subset, the new sheet will be added to the end of the subset.

01:33

If you right click on a sheet,

01:36

the new sheet will be added below that sheet.

01:39

Of course, regardless of where you right click,

01:42

you can always drag and drop the new sheet to the proper location.

01:48

Suppose you just received a framing plan from the structural engineer

01:53

before you add that sheet,

01:55

add a structural subset.

01:58

Right? Click on the sheet list and choose new subset

02:03

in the subset properties. Dialogue, click in the subset name, field

02:09

name the new subset, structural

02:15

and then click, OK,

02:18

right. Click the structural subset and choose import layout as sheet

02:25

in the import layout as sheets dialogue, click browse for drawings,

02:31

navigate to the sheet set dash 04 folder,

02:36

select all of the sheets

02:39

and then click open

02:43

note that in the status column,

02:45

you can see that all but one of the layouts already belongs to

02:50

a sheet set and therefore cannot be added to any other sheet set.

02:55

Thus, only the roof framing plan

02:58

has been selected.

03:00

You also have the option to prefix the sheet title with the file name,

03:05

leave this check box cleared,

03:10

click import, checked.

03:13

The roof framing plan has been added to the sheet list,

03:17

right? Click that sheet

03:19

and choose rename and renumber to open the rename and renumber sheet dialogue

03:27

in the number field

03:29

number, the sheet S dash 01

03:33

and then click. Ok.

03:35

The roof framing plan has been added to the sheet set.
