Hi everyone,
I design fire alarm systems for a few different companies but there is one in particular that is consistently giving me a lot of projects and I spend a lot of time renaming sheets, titles etc which of course led me to look into sheet set manager and now I can see the power of it but I am having some trouble understanding a few things and hope some guidance on how to set this up properly for each project.
Here is the scenario:
- I use my client's template which is a .dwg that contains the title block and a bunch of layout tabs. This dwg template is used for every new project.
- I know I will have to go through each attribute for each layout and add the field that links to SSM information, no issue there and I understand the process.
- Let's assume I have gone through all the layouts and pointed all the attribute info to fields.
Now I open SSM:
- Create a sheet set from the existing drawings and name the sheet set to the project name.
- Then I see "store sheet set data file .dst here:
- Is this unique to the project? Would I save this .dst file to the project folder or is this a general file and should be saved to the company template folder?
- Basically, I will be always creating a sheet set from layout tabs for each project.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
- What I would like to do is be able to copy the project folder that contains the .dwg template explained above that brings in the sheet set for each new project
