Creating a Plan/Profile Sheet Series
A sheet series is a group of sheets that is associated with a particular
alignment in your drawing. Each sheet shows a specific area of the
plan and profile alignment. Creating the series involves laying out the
sheets, which determines what part of the plan and profile appear on
the sheet, and then generating the sheets.
Key Concepts
■
When you lay out the sheet series, rectangles are placed along the
current alignment. Each rectangle represents a sheet in the series
that is generated. These rectangles are called view definitions.
■
You can lay out a sheet series for a plan, plan/profile, or a profile
sheet series.
■
It is not necessary to use the Layout Sheet Series command when
creating a section sheet series.
■
Each sheet series has a name and a particular sheet style associated
with it. You can choose a predefined sheet style or you can
customize a sheet style.
■
To correctly label finished draft pipe runs, they must be drafted in
the drawing. Textual information does not need to be drafted—
only the finish drafted pipes.
