importing .dwg into sheetsets

[b_v_mc]

is there a reason why i can only import one sheet at a time into the sheet set. This method isnt very productive.

Hi

Pass. Haven't had a chance to play with Sheet Sets yet....

Give the following threads a try, they contain links to a series of Papers "Sheet Set Manager Best Practices Series" that hopefully should prove useful -

Online tutorials, learning Cd's, books (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=9183)

Have a good one, Mike

Are you dealing with a "1 drawing/1 layout" system?

If so them I think your stuck doing them 1 at a time.
I've had no problem importing multiple layouts from the same drawing file.

I have found no way to import more than one file at a time after the initial creation of the sheet set. You can import multiple sheets at the creation by selecting the dir folder they are in, after that, it is one at a time.
You are correct, not very efficient.

I think the idea is to create the sheets using the sheet set manager, not make the sheet and then import it after the fact. If the drawings are already created then you should make the sheet set initially based on all the drawings as Vservello already mentioned.

I understand that this will be available in the next release of AutoCAD.

Thats true, but for some people (me included) are using 3rd party software that generates a lot of drawings. We would like to add those to the existing list as well. Also you might get drawings from someone else that you might want to include. So there are several reasons why you would want to be able to add more then one sheet at a time.
