Most of the commands that you'll use to manipulate the
00:06
sheet set can be found in the right click,
00:08
pop up menu.
00:09
I'll right click on the top level sheet set.
00:12
Notice that the only option that is enabled is closed sheet set,
00:16
right? Clicking on any of the sheets will only get you to the open commands.
00:20
That's what I wanted to show you first
00:22
to use any of these tools. The pallet must be open in the drawing editor.
00:26
So
00:27
let's click on new to start a new drawing.
00:30
Now you see that when I right click on the sheet set itself,
00:33
most of the tools in the pop up are enabled and ready to use.
00:36
In fact,
00:37
the only one that isn't enabled is insert sheet list table.
00:41
You have to have a sheet from the sheet set open for that to become enabled.
00:46
So I'll open 0 0 dash cover sheet to demonstrate.
00:49
Just double click on it or right click and select open now,
00:54
right click on the top level sheet set again
00:56
and you'll see that the insert sheet list table is enabled.
01:00
And since we don't need an open drawing for anything, we'll be doing moving forward.
01:04
Let's close 0, 0 dash cover sheet that we just opened.
01:08
I'll just click on the X in its tab to close it.
01:11
The first thing we're going to do is to add a couple of sheets to our sheet set.
01:15
Again. It's a right click operation.
01:17
But you need to know that the new sheet or
01:19
sheets will be inserted just after where you right clicked.
01:23
So if you wanted the sheets in a subset,
01:25
you could have your mouse over the subset
01:27
and the sheet would just come right after that.
01:30
I want my sheets to come in just below
01:33
master plan.
01:34
So I'll click on it now.
01:37
Just a side note here
01:38
based on what I just said,
01:39
you might think that right clicking to import on the top level
01:42
sheet set would insert them just above 0 0 dash cover sheet.
01:46
But it doesn't,
01:47
if you import from the top level, it will place the imported sheet or sheets
01:52
at the bottom of the entire sheet set. So keep that in mind
01:56
with all that said, since I want my new sheets to appear just below 01
02:01
master plan,
02:02
I'd normally click on that to start my import,
02:05
but I want to show you an operation later.
02:07
So let's click on the top level sheet set so that
02:09
the sheets will import at the bottom of the set.
02:12
So from the top level sheet set,
02:14
I'll right click and select import layout as sheet.
02:18
Click on the large browse for drawings button at the top,
02:21
navigate to your dataset and select both erosion control plan
02:25
and drainage summary from the civil drawings folder and click open
02:29
the import layouts as sheets,
02:31
dialogue will populate with the two files we selected.
02:34
There's a drawing file name, column, a layout name,
02:37
column and a very important status column.
02:39
Yours should read available for import.
02:42
As you see that mine does.
02:44
You need to know that a layout can only be in one sheet set.
02:47
If the import tool detects that a layout is in another sheet set,
02:51
the status will tell you so and you won't be able to import it.
02:54
So make sure the two entries are checked
02:57
and make sure the prefix sheet titles, check box at the bottom
03:00
is unchecked
03:01
and click on the import check button.
03:04
Our two new sheets will be imported into the bottom of the list.
