To create a drawing set for publishing
1 Open a drawing. Click Output tab ➤ Publish panel ➤ Publish.
The Publish dialog box is displayed. If the Include Layouts When Adding
Sheets option is selected, either in the shortcut menu or in the Publish
dialog box, all the layouts in the current drawing are listed in the sheetlist.
2 In the Publish dialog box, you can modify the list of sheets by doing any
of the following as needed:
■ Add sheets. To add sheets from other drawings, click the Add Sheets
button (or drag drawings from the desktop). In the Select Drawings
dialog box, select drawings. Click Select to add them to the list of
sheets in the Publish dialog box. All of the layouts in a drawing become
individual sheets in the list of drawing sheets. You can remove the
individual sheets if you do not want them to become part of the
drawing set. A layout must be initialized (its paper size must be defined
in the page setup to any size other than 0 x 0) before it can be
published.
NOTE To include all layouts when you add sheets to a drawing set, ensure
the Include Layouts When Adding Sheets option is selected either in the
shortcut menu or in the Publish dialog box.
■ Include model layouts. If you include an uninitialized (the paper size
is not defined in the page setup or is set to 0 x 0) model layout, it will
be marked as Uninitialized in the Status column on the sheet list. It
can be plotted if you select an override page setup for it in the Publish
dialog box from the page setup drop-down list under Page Setups in
the sheet list.
NOTE To include the model when you add sheets to a drawing set, ensure
the Include Model When Adding Sheets option is selected either in the
shortcut menu or in the Publish dialog box.
■ Remove sheets. To remove sheets from the list, select one or more
sheets in the list. Click the Remove Sheets button. To remove all
sheets, right-click the selection. Click Remove All.
■ Reorder sheets. To reorder the sheets up or down one position in the
list, select a sheet. Click either the Move Sheet Up or Move Sheet
