all the sheets in the sheet set. Once a sheet list table is created, you also
have options to edit, update, or delete the cell content of the table.
You can create a sheet list table from the shortcut menu of sheet set subsets
and sheets only when a sheet is open. You can also create sheet list tables
for multiple subsets and sheets. Any sheets added to a subset later on are
automatically added to the sheet list table.
NOTE For access to shortcut menus in the drawing area that are needed for
sheet list table operations, the Shortcut Menus in Drawing Area must be
checked in the Options dialog box, User Preferences tab.
Create Callout Blocks and Label Blocks (Advanced)
If you create a block to be used as a callout block or label block in a sheet set,
you can use a placeholder field to display information such as view title or
sheet number. The callout or label block must be defined in a DWG or DWT
file that is specified in the Sheet Set Properties dialog box. Later, you can insert
the callout or label block from a shortcut menu on the Sheet Views tab in the
Sheet Set Manager.
For the field to display the correct information about a view or sheets on
which you later insert it, the field must be included within a block attribute,
not text, when you define the block. To create the block attribute definition,
insert a placeholder field as the value, select the Preset option, and specify a
tag.
NOTE If you create your own label blocks and callout blocks, set any attribute
definitions to Preset to avoid prompts when placing these blocks in a drawing.
For more information about fields, see Insert Fields on page 994.
Place a Sheet View (Advanced)
The Sheet Set Manager automates and enhances the process for adding views
to a sheet. A view on a sheet, called a sheet view, consists of several coincident
entities: an xref or geometry in model space, a layout viewport on a sheet,
and a named view in paper space.
■ The sheet view can display model space from a different drawing file. In
this case, that drawing is attached as an xref in your current drawing. The
layers of that drawing file are displayed only in the sheet view that you
create.
