SSMSHEETSTATUS
Controls how the status data in a sheet set is refreshed.
SSMSTATE
Indicates whether the Sheet Set Manager window is open or closed.
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
on page 1636. 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 1609.
For information on DWFx files, see
Plot DWFx Files on page 1610.
■ 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 1971.
■ 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.
