Down button. Sheets in the drawing set are viewed or plotted in the
order shown in the list.
■ Rename sheets. To rename a sheet, select it in the list and right-click.
Click Rename Sheet. Enter the new sheet name.

■ Copy sheets. To copy one or more drawing sheets, select the sheets
in the list and right-click. Click Copy Selected Sheets. The copied
drawing sheets are added and highlighted at the end of the sheet list.
When a sheet is copied, its name is created by the addition of -Copy(n)
at the end of the original sheet name. For example, if you create one
copy of a sheet called Plumbing, the copied sheet is called
Plumbing-Copy(1). Each time you copy the same sheet, the n is
incremented by 1. By creating copies of a sheet, you can have different
page setups and other settings for the same sheet.

you want for your drawing set, click the Save Sheet List button.
NOTE Ensure that you have saved your drawing before you click the Save
Sheet List button.
