    Wink Does anyone use the SSM to generate Drawing/Document Transmittal forms?

    Hi,
    Does anyone use the SSM to generate Drawing/Document Transmittal forms (to an external format (AutoCAD to xls).
    I am currently trying to change our standard dwg titleblocks over to a SSM format where the Field Attributes (in the Titleblock) are linked to the SSM custom fields.
    That is, the user puts data through the SSM custom fields and the TitleBlock updates by itself without the user touching the TitleBlock.
    Its a small step process at the moment.
    Our Company Document Management system is a bit adhoc
    I am a big fan of SSM and fields

    Any thoughts/ideas as a guide would be appreciated

    That's a cool idea.
    I don't currently use that myself, but, I work primarily with existing drawings, so any transmittals I do are all coming from my document database in MS Access.

    Good luck!

    Default Re: Does anyone use the SSM to generate Drawing/Document Transmittal forms?

    We have utilized the "Export" function on our sheet list table. We generate the table on our cover sheet, the right-click and select "Export" (see attachment). This creates a ".csv" (comma seperated values) Excel file that we save. (You can open it in Excel and save as an .xls if you want.)

    The front end of our online transmittal program then allows the user to import the .csv file and create a drawing list (that is added to our transmittal database).

    One more way the sheet set manager saves us time (and potential typos).

    Thank you for that.
    I have been using it that way on some projects.
    I appreciate the feedback.
    Cheers
