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. For more information about page setups,
see
Use Named Page Setups with Sheet Sets on page 1549.
NOTE With page setup overrides, you can use the PUBLISHCOLLATE system
variable to control whether plotting a sheet set can be interrupted by other plot
jobs or not.
Save a Selection of Sheets
You can select part of a sheet set for publishing and transmitting. On the Sheet
List tab, you can select individual sheets using standard Microsoft

selection methods—press CTRL or SHIFT when you click items. You can specify
all the sheets in a sheet subset by clicking the subset node.
You will likely need to perform operations on the same group of sheets in a
sheet set repeatedly. To speed up selecting the sheets and to ensure that the
same sheets are selected each time, you can use the Sheet Set Manager to
reselect groups of sheets by name. These named groups of sheets are called
sheet selections. You can create and manage sheet selections by using the Sheet
Selections button at the top of the Sheet List tab.
To save a sheet selection
1 Click View tab ➤ Palettes panel ➤ Sheet Set Manager.
2 In the Sheet Set Manager, open a sheet set.
3 On the Sheet List tab, click the sheets and subsets to include in the sheet
selection.
You can use CTRL or SHIFT to specify several items from the list.
4 In the Sheet List Manager, near the upper-right corner, click the Sheet
Selections button. Click Create.
5 In the New Sheet Selection dialog box, enter the name of the sheet
selection. Click OK.
