Sheets management

Hi sirs,

I'm creating my first project with aCad Electrical and I'd like to know how manage the multisheets: if I have a 100 pages electrical plant, should I create a .dwg for each sheet? is there any reference?

If by sheet you mean the printed/plotted output, then yes, you should create a drawing for each one.

 

Some aspects of ACADE don't play well with multiple layouts in a drawing, so best practices here are to do what's needed so that you can do all your printing either from model space, or from a single layout tab.

By layout do you mean title block

Are you suggesting to put many title blocks in the same model space? I don't think it's the best way since I should draw around 100 sheets

What Jim is suggesting is to do one drawing per sheet.

 

There are different schools of thought as to where the Titleblock should reside: Model Space or Paper Space (Layout1).

Do a search and decide which way works best for you (I am in the Layout camp.)

ACADE only works with (1) layout.

 

Anyway you look at it, there will be 100 Dwgs if that is what you need. This is how ACADE works best.

TB in model to TB in layout convert over here.  

for my specific case, there's a tradeoff between the PLC layouts being funky between drawings when using the layout method or having a lot more steps to modify or adjust when TB is in Model space.

 

Probably first step you need to identify is "What do I do over and over" and templatize that thing.
