View the Sheet Storage Location

View the Sheet Storage Location
All of the sheets in a sheet set are stored in one or more folders.
1. In the Sheet Set Properties dialog box, under Sheet Creation, click Sheet
Storage Location.
The folder listed under Sheet Storage Location is where all of the sheets in this sheet set
are stored. By default, any new sheets you create are also stored in this location.
2. Click OK to close the Sheet Set Properties dialog box.
3. Open Windows Explorer.
4. In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder listed in the Sheet Set Manager under
Sheet Storage Location: My Documents\Tutorials\ViewSheetSet.
Notice that for each sheet in your sheet set (Plans, Elevations, and Foundation Plan), there
is a corresponding drawing file.
Also, notice that each sheet in your sheet set is numbered, but the corresponding drawing
files are not.
Because 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.
Create a New Subset
The ABC Project sheet set currently contains one subset called Architectural. You can create
additional subsets and organize your sheets accordingly.
1. In AutoCAD, in the Sheet Set Manager, on the Sheet List tab, right-click ABC
Project, and on the shortcut menu, click New Subset.
2. In the Subset Properties dialog box, under Subset Name, enter Structural.
For each subset, you can set the sheet storage location and the default template. By
default, these two settings are the same as for the sheet set. Leave these settings as they
are.
3. Click OK to close the Subset Properties dialog box.
A new subset, Structural, is displayed at the bottom of the list.
4. In the Sheet Set Manager, click the Foundation Plan sheet to select it, and drag it
under the Structural subset (Structural subset becomes highlighted).
The Foundation Plan sheet is now part of the Structural subset.
5. To change the sheet number, right-click the Foundation Plan sheet, and on the
shortcut menu, click Rename and Renumber.
6. In the Rename and Renumber Sheet dialog box, under Number, replace A3 with
S1.
7. Click OK to close the Rename and Renumber Sheet dialog box.
