    Sheet Set Issues

    I'm attempting to create a sheet set from existing drawings, but when I point the "New Sheet Set Wizard" to the folder containing my 8 or so drawings (with 24 or so associated layouts), only 2 drawings appear with 6 associated layouts for import.  The other layouts don't even show up as being part of another sheet set.  How do I get the New Sheet Set Wizard to "see" the layouts?


    Thanks!

    hi,

    can you pls check the names of dwgs and layouts? maybe they have more than the maximum characters allowed or the path the dwgs including the layouts names has more than 255 characters

    The layouts are all simple alphanumeric names of maximum 7 characters.  I renamed the files themselves to eliminate hyphens and reduce file name length (example name: Level 1), but this didn't help.

     

    Any next steps to try?

    This happens to me sometimes, I completely close out of the sheetset and Autocad and then reopen.

    That seems to help me.

    Still didn't help.  I tried creating the sheet set and importing additional drawings after the sheet set existed, and this worked.  Problem solved, but still, it's an odd issue.
