from layouts in several drawings. In the current drawing, you can drag a
layout tab directly onto the Sheets area of the Sheet List tab in the Sheet
Set Manager.
■ Create a new sheet. As an alternative to importing existing layouts, you
can create a new sheet. When you place views in this sheet, the drawing
files associated with the views are attached as xrefs to the sheet drawing.
The sheet drawing file is created using either the AutoCAD 2004 format
or the AutoCAD 2007 format, depending on the format specified on the
Open and Save tab in the Options dialog box.
■ Modify a sheet. Double-click a sheet on the Sheet List tab to open a drawing
from the sheet set. Use SHIFT or CTRL to select multiple sheets. To review
a sheet, use the shortcut menu to open a drawing in read-only mode.
NOTE Modifying a sheet should always be done using an open sheet set in
the Sheet Set Manager. This ensures that all data associated with the sheet are
updated.
■ Rename and renumber a sheet. After you create a sheet, you can change
the sheet title and the sheet number. You can also specify a different
drawing file associated with the sheet.
NOTE If you change the layout name, the corresponding sheet title in the
sheet set is also updated or vice versa.
■ Remove a sheet from a sheet set. Removing a sheet from a sheet set
disassociates the sheet from the sheet set, but does not delete the drawing
file or the layout.
■ Reassociate a sheet. If you move a sheet to a different folder, you should
reassociate the sheet to the sheet set with the Sheet Properties dialog box
to correct the path. For any relocated sheet drawing, the paths for Expected
Layout and Found Layout are displayed in the Sheet Properties dialog box.
To reassociate the sheet, click the path in Expected Layout and then click
to navigate to the new location of the sheet.
