Sheetset Question

[merquimanon]

So I make design with multiple sheets (Layouts) and they all use the same Title block. What I am currently doing is manually inputting all the data (Drawn by, Checked by, Plot Scale, etc.) on EVERY single page. I usually takes some time, especially on designs with 10+ pages. I am wondering if there is a way to just change the data in the title block on the first sheet and it automatically change on all the sheets in the sheet set.

are you using the sheet set manager?

Most of us simply XREF the one single project-specific "titleblock" DWG file into all the layouts we use so that editing for the common items is only done once in one file. For the layout specific notations we use SSM specific FIELD entries to auto-fill that information in each layout.

Edit once, have it show up everywhere automatically. It's the better approach.

XREF your titleblock, then all the static data can be changed in one place and it will reflect throughout.

You can even make the sheet number match the tabname using the field: %<\AcVar ctab>%

Our JTB SSMPropEditor could be of much help.

We stopped xref'ing our titleblocks over 15 years ago and use Sheet Set fields for all the data. You can populate your titleblock with "sheet set" fields that will fill in everything for the entire project at once, and then also have "sheet" fields for anything you still want to be custom on a per-sheet basis.
