Create a New Sheet

Create a New Sheet
When you create a new sheet, a layout is created in a new drawing using the template that is
specified in the Sheet Set Properties dialog box. The drawing is stored in the folder that is
specified in the Sheet Set Properties dialog box.
1. In the Sheet Set Manager, right-click the Architectural subset, and on the
shortcut menu, click New Sheet.
2. In the New Sheet dialog box, under Number, enter A3.
3. Under Sheet Title, enter Sections.
4. Under File Name, delete the text A3.
Because you may want to reorder or renumber your sheets, you don't want to include
sheet numbers in your drawing file names. If the sheet number is a sheet property (instead
of part of the drawing file name), you can use the Sheet Set Manager to reorder and
renumber your sheets without having to rename your drawing files.
5. Click OK to close the New Sheet dialog box.
6. In Windows Explorer, browse to the default sheet storage location: My
Documents\Tutorials\ViewSheetSet
Notice that a new drawing (Sections.dwg) was created in the folder. When you create a
new sheet, a new drawing is created using the default template.
7. In the Sheet Set Manager, double-click the Sections sheet.
The Sections drawing opens, with the Sections layout tab currently active. This is the
drawing (with layout) that was created when you used the Sheet Set Manager to create a
new sheet.
8. Close all drawings without saving changes.
9. To close the ABC Project sheet set, in the Sheet Set Manager, on the Sheet List
tab, right-click ABC Project, and on the shortcut menu, click Close Sheet Set.
Wrap Up
You create a sheet set in the Create Sheet Set wizard. You use the Sheet Set Manager to view
and manage sheet sets. When you create a new sheet, a new drawing is created using a default
template. You can organize your sheets into subsets or logical categories. You can also reorder
and renumber your sheets without having to rename your drawing files.
