ACAD 2006 - Update Sheet List Table

[gking]

Does anyone know of a way to update a sheet list table without having to use the shortcut menu? I would like to update the sheet list by entering a command and selecting it. It just doesn't make sense how there can be a menu item with no command associated with it whatsoever. It seems like there could be a lisp routine or something to initiate the "update sheet list table" option. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm still delving into Sheet Sets and Fields, but from I know, as long you have the FIELDEVAL set to update to "regen" (value 16), the list, being comprised of all fields, should update automatically on a REGEN command assumig you have the applicable sheet set open.

To do a macro or LISP function you could use the UPDATEFIELD command to update all the fields in the drawing. Since I like button macros:

^C^CUPDATEFIELD;ALL;;

That will update all fields in the current space you are working in.

Hope I could help.

Thank you for the tip, but this does not help when adding a new sheet in the sheet set manager. The updatefield command only updates field that currently exist in the drawing, it does not recognize that there has been a new sheet added to the set, so it does not add the new sheet to the table. No one has been able to figure this one out. I am hoping autodesk incoroporates a command for this in future versions of autocad.
