Add a Sheet List Table with Sheet Set Manager for Web

[elliott.breinholtN3YT6]

Why does AutoDesk instruct users to turn off the SSM for Web to access legacy features? Shouldn't someone be able to do something as simple as insert a sheet list from SSM for Web without having to disable it and use the old interface to get the job done? There are several other tools available in the legacy SSM that should be integrated in the web interface as well, such as managing model/sheet view, inserting view labels, and callout blocks. This new interface is way too dumbed down to be helpful in design.

For those needing help with the current workflow method. Below are the instructions I found on AutoDesk's help page. The very definition of a bandaid fix.

Add a Sheet List Table

Use the following steps to add a sheet list table for sheet sets stored in Autodesk Docs.

1. In AutoCAD desktop, close Sheet Set Manager for Web.
2. At the Command prompt, set SSMDETECTMODE to off.
3. In Autodesk Docs, navigate to the location of the desired DST file. Manually lock the file to keep others from editing the DST file.
4. Open the cloud DST file.

   With SSMDETECTMODE turned off, the legacy Sheet Set Manager should display when opening a cloud-based DST file.

5. In the legacy Sheet Set Manager, right-click a sheet set name, subset, or multiple sheet set names and subsets. Click Insert List Table.
6. In the Sheet List Table dialog box, do the following:
   • Set the table style in the Table Style Settings group.
   • On the Table Data tab, specify title text for the table and add, remove, or change the order of the column entries.
   • On the Subsets and Sheets tab, select the subsets and sheets to be included in the sheet list table.
     Note: If you add a sheet to a subset later on, you will be automatically prompted to update the sheet list table.
7. Click OK.
8. In the Sheet Set Manager, right-click the sheet set and choose Close Sheet Set.
9. In Autodesk Docs, navigate to the DST file location and manually unlock the file.
10. In Autodesk desktop, set SSMDETECTMODE to on.
11. Re-open the DST file.

    The Sheet Set Manager for Web now displays when the cloud-based DST file is opened.

This sounds like a product defect. I have no experience with the web app but I assume it is used for the BIM360/ Docs... Whatever Autodesk is calling their cloud based portal.

You should reach out to AutoDesk and maybe the Idea Station @TimYarris is good and giving feed back

Thanks for tagging me, @Joe-Bouza . I don't know the answer, but I'll do my best to find someone who does.
