Publish, Transmit, and Archive Sheet Sets
After you have organized drawings into a sheet set, you can publish, transmit,
and archive the sheet set as a package.
■ Publish a sheet set: Use the Publish feature to output the sheet set to a
plotter in either normal or reverse order. For more information, see Publish
a Sheet Set. You can create single and multiple-sheet DWF or DWFx files
from a sheet set or portion of a sheet set.
For information on DWF files, see
Plot DWF Files on page 1242.
For information on DWFx files, see
Plot DWFx Files on page 1243.
■ Set options for properties to include in a published DWF or DWFx file:
You can decide what types of information to reveal in your published DWF
or DWFx files. The types of metadata that you can include are sheet and
sheet set properties, block properties and attributes, dynamic block
properties and attributes, and properties contained in custom objects.
Metadata is only included when you publish to DWF or DWFx; it is not
available when plotting to DWF or DWFx.
■ Transmit a sheet set: Package and send a sheet set or a portion of a sheet
set over the Internet. For more information, see
Package a Set of Files for
Internet Transmission
on page 1486.
■ Archive a sheet set: Package a sheet set or portion of a sheet set for storage.
This is very similar to packaging a transmittal set, except that you specify
a folder for the archive and you do not transmit the package. For more
information, see the ARCHIVE command.
Use Page Setups
Page setups provide the settings that are used for publishing and plotting.
When you create a sheet set, you specify a drawing template (DWT) file that
contains one or more page setups for all new sheets. This DWT file is called
the sheet creation template.
Another DWT file, called the page setup overrides file, contains page setups that
can be specified to override the page setups in each sheet. You specify the
page setup overrides file in the Sheet Set Properties dialog box.
When you publish a sheet set, you can use the page setups defined in each
drawing file, you can use the page setup overrides for all drawing files, or you
can publish to a DWF or DWFx file.
