    Unhappy Only Attach type Xref Attachment?

    Hi,

    Review of Sheet Set Development:
    Step 1
    Make Sheet Set Structure (subsets)

    Step 2
    Configure subset templates (titleblocks)

    Step 3
    Add Resource Drawings

    Step 4
    If Resource Drawings do not include Views - add Views to them

    Step 5
    Start a new Sheet

    Step 6
    Place Resource Drawing View in Sheet

    Stop the bus!!! When you add a resouce drawing view, the sheet set manager xrefs the resource drawing add a new layer and sets vpfrz layer properties. If you add another resource drawing - you get another viewport and the viewports are set to frz so that resource drawings do not merge in viewports. If your Xref method is Attach type Attachment then sheet set manager will work for you. What about drawing offices that prefer to use Overlay attachment? Must we change to Atrtach type before we can utilise the sheet set manager?

    Thanks,

    Kevin.

    unfortunately, that is the only option they've made available so far.
