    Default Best practise to use Sheet Sets for production housing

    We mostly work on production plans and have common details for all plans. My question pertains to what the best way to use the sheet set manager is to manage production projects. We have recently started using the SSM and the way we are using it has caused a few issues. We have set up a Sheet Set for each plan so that we can manage the project by plan with the common details in each sheet set. The issues seem to revolve around the detail sheets since they are imported into multiple sheet sets. What would others do given my dilemma?

    As you have probably found out, only one Sheet Set can be associated with a drawing file. You may be able to create a new sheet (with titleblock) which XREFs your common sheets.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Good point about Xrefs. I am using page setups instead of sheet sets.
    I have all of my production prints in the same drawing file.

    I was hoping I could use a sheet set to take the third layout from all of my
    cad files and create an office catalogue of all part designs. I am waiting for
    Autodesk to roll out some improvements to sheet sets. (crossing fingers)
