Multiple Drawing List Reports per Project, broken down by subsections?

[NickEng]

I like to organise my drawings in the project manager by using sub-folders.  This is a very handy feature!

I also place the drawings in each sub-folder in their own sub-directory on the hard drive in an organization that mirrors the layout in the project manager.

See the attached screen capture.

I would like to have a title page with a drawing list generated for each sub-folder, however, when I tried to do this, I ended up generating a drawing list that updated the main drawing list for the project and not one for the page in the subfolder.

Is it possible to have a master drawing list report and also multiple drawing lists that are specific to the drawings in each sub-folder?

You can do this, but there is just no easy way to do it because of how AutoCAD Electricals report generator works.

See this thread: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-forum/bom-placed-on-wrong-sheet/m-p/6640255#M47265

So, you'll have to create on *.SET file for each subfolder, and then AcadE will update the correct Drawing index table:

Unfortunately, you can not put all of this into an "automatic report". For some silly reason it don't support Drawing List reports 😞
