Chapter 7 Creating and Plotting Sheets Using Sheet Manager
754
WARNING!
If you plan to use a sheet style with another project, then do not define a
sheet style template in the current working drawing. Layers in the current
working drawing are carried over to the next project in which you apply
the sheet style. Once the layers exist in a project, It is difficult to remove
them.
NOTE
To avoid accumulating unwanted layers, design the sheets in a SHTMGR
project. The SHTMGR project does not have any alignments or profiles and
the drawings contain only the desired layers. When you apply the sheet
style, only new layers are added to the drawing.
Generating a Single Plan/Profile Sheet
You can generate plan/profile sheets one at a time, or you can generate all the
sheets in the series at once in either plan or model space.
To learn about the rules that apply to sheet generation, see Rules for Sheet
Generation in this chapter.
To generate one plan/profile sheet at a time
1 Lay out the sheet series.
2 From the Sheet Manager menu, choose Plan/Profile Sheets ä Generate Sheet 
Individual. The following prompt is displayed:
Select a Sheet Series View Definition (Press Return to enter a sheet
number):
Select objects:
3 Select a view definition using one of the following methods:
n
Select the view definition with your pointing device, and then press ENTER.
n
Press ENTER at the Select a Sheet Series View Definition prompt. The Set
Current Sheet Series Name dialog box is displayed. In the Existing Series box,
double-click the name of the sheet series you want to generate, and then
click OK.
The command determines the sheet number range for the series you specify,
and displays a prompt similar to the following:
Current Sheet Series Name: Sheet Manager
Series: Sheet Manager, sheet number range: 1-3
Enter sheet number:
4 Type the sheet number and press ENTER.
The command loads the sheet style, switches to paper space (if currently in
model space), and regenerates the drawing. The command searches for grid,
distance, text, or block labels and attaches them to the frames.
The resulting sheet is saved to the sheet series folder in the format S###, for
example, S001.
