What is the use of the "Sheet Category" option in the 'Sheet Properties'.

[Ali.Katebi]

I don't know what the "Sheet Category" option in the 'Sheet Properties' dialogue box is for. For Example, Can I categorise sheets by their category? What is the function of this option?

Hi,

Sheet Properties dialog box is used to classify or group sheets within a sheet set for organizational purposes. It helps you manage and locate specific sheets in a large project with multiple sheets. You can assign categories to sheets to group them logically ( Architectural, Structural ,Mechanical and Electrical....etc).

you can filter the sheet list in the Sheet Set Manager to view only specific types of sheets, making it easier to locate and manage them.

Hi

Okay, Thank you. My question is, "How can I filter sheets by category in the SSM?" I don't see any tools for that. Could you please tell me with an image or a video of how to do this?

There is no automated ability in the program to do that for you, sorry.

Are you creating then pre-assigning different categories to different sheets in your SSM first? Like this
