Sheet Set Manager

[dweikle]

How do I permanently detatch a Sheet Set Manager from a drawing.  It seems when I open differenct drawings, a Manager will open with a drawing it should not be assoicated with, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it to start a new one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Remove Sheet works for me - not you? When this "Manager" shows up is this sheet visibly a member of its list?

I've seen lots of strange problems with the SSM and file associations.  Although we usually have the opposite problem, where opening a drawing fails to open an associated Sheet Set...

[Joe-Bouza]

Hi Sinc, could it be a renamed layout tab; perhaps? Curious, if it were part of a SS why open the drawing to get SS and not the other way around?

[Sinc]

I suppose I could TRY to remember to always open the Sheet Set instead of the drawing, even though that adds an extra step most of the time, and it also requires us to REMEMBER which drawings are in Sheet Sets and which aren't, and then use the appropriate version of Big Red C -> Open instead of just using convenient options like CTRL+O or the "Open Drawing" shortcut in the Quick Launch toolbar...

But we shouldn't really have to do such things.  The Sheet Set is supposed to open automatically when we open an associated drawing.  And it does, for some drawings.  But it doesn't, for other drawings.  We've never been able to figure out any rhyme or reason to it...  Just another one of those "Joys of AutoCAD" we learn to live with....

On occasion, I'll create Drawing A, and create a SSM associated with it.  I will then close that drawing.  Then, sometimes when I turn around and open up Drawing B, the SSM associated with Drawing A will open with it.  If I make any changes to that SSM while in Drawing B, those changes will effect Drawing A.  I can't figure out how to "unlink" the SSM from Drawing B.  Make any sense?

[Joe-Bouza]

In SSM, Right click drawing B >> properties and tell me what path, file and layout tab it refers to?

[Joe-Bouza]

I use it as a control system to keep people from opening an outdated or incorrect file. And Now I refuse to answer the ubiquitous ..."where is that file?" I know you are not a big fan and I am - I wont proselytize

[dweikle]

They all refer back to Drawing A.  I open up Drawing B, type in "sheetset", and it opens the SSM for Drawing A, with the properties pathed back to Drawing A. 

[Joe-Bouza]

so chnage it.

How did you create file B?

click on the small pull down at the top of your sheet set manager and right click on the sheet set you want to close. Then select close sheet set.
