Sheetset : Moving the .dst file

Hi,

I actually started a DST file in another project folder that doesnt concern the drawings.

All the drawings (Or sheets) are in the good directory.

But the DST isn't in the good directory.

I tryed copying the dst, but at the end i get a msg that the link isn't ok.

So how can i move the DST with out reimporting and checking if all my sheets are ok with this change ?

@Edwin.Saez : I tried the steps that @Cadologist suggested me and didn't work. I think you don't understand my issue and what i'm trying to do. It's ok, no need to debate and thanx for suggesting, i really appreciate it.

@Cadologist : I've tryed something today, seems pretty simple.

So i've deleted the old DST in the old Folder location so it won't link to it.
But before i've simply copied the DST into the new folder location.

Opened the DST from it's new location.
Then afterwards, i've opened each file one by one thru the sheetset (The DST in the new location).

Each time i've opened a drawing, i've validated if the DST affiliated with the DWG was the correct one thru SSFOUND and since i've opened the drawing with the DST on its new location it updated the parameter in the DWG file.

Solution was pretty simple.

Hope this helps someone 🙂

Thank you guy's really appreciated for your help !

The .dst format refers to a Sheet Set.

 

To create a Sheet Set, to this:

Go to Application Tab (Big 'A' top left corner)=>New=>Sheet Set. Follow the prompts to create a sheet set.
