SHEETSET — Sheet Set

Groups layouts from several drawings as numbered sheets of a set.

• Command: SHEETSET · Global name: _SHEETSET · Alias: SSM
• Ribbon: Output › Plot
• Menu: File

Opens the Sheet Set palette, to group layouts from several drawings as numbered "sheets" of a set, open them and batch-plot them to PDF. It is the equivalent of the AutoCAD Sheet Set Manager.

Usage

1. Type SHEETSET (or SSM) or click the button: the palette opens and can be docked to a side.
2. Click Add drawings… to add other drawings (their Model and layouts are added) or Add current for the open drawing (it must be saved).
3. Edit each sheet's number and title, reorder them with ▲ and ▼, or remove them with ✕.
4. Number numbers the sheets from 1 to n in list order.
5. Double-click a sheet to open its drawing and switch to its layout.
6. Publish set to PDF… loads the sheets into PUBLISH to batch-plot them to PDF.

Saving the set

• Save and Save as… save the set to a .dst file.
• The LinceCAD .dst is a plain-text file of its own (drawing paths are saved relative to its folder when they are inside it). AutoCAD .dst files, which use a proprietary format, are neither read nor written.

Notes

• Sheets from other drawings are plotted with their page setups; as in PUBLISH, their external references are not loaded when publishing.
