Sheet set manager not allowing new sheets

Anonymous — Tue, 25 Oct 2016 18:11:58 GMT

Hello-

I am using AutoCAD 2017. When I set up a new sheet set, the sheet set manager won't let me add new sheets to a set - all the options are greyed out when I right click on it. I can still view and access sheets created by others in my office (who are using earlier versions of AutoCAD), but I can't add new sheets to any sheet sets, old or new. Solutions? Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I wonder if this is a permissions issue. Have you tried creating the sheet set in a different location? Are you an administrator on your workstation?

Hi John-
There are no problems creating sheets on other computers in the office, but they are all running earlier versions of AutoCAD. I will check into the permissions thing, thanks.

Hi Paul,

By different locations I meant such as on the local C: drive as opposed to a network folder.

Did the permissions issue seem to have any impact?

No, but then I restarted my computer and it worked. So...no real answer I guess. But thank you!

I created a new sheet set. However I can t add a new sheet to the set as all the menu items are grayed-out when I try to select new sheet command while right-clicking on the sheet-set name

Replying to say I just had this issue, but it resolved by closing the Civil3D program and restarting it. Or, like OP did just restart your whole computer. This worked to resolve the issue for some reason.
