Sheetset manager page setup overides issue

[ezawasky]

I am upgrading from Civil 3D 2022 to 2026. I have a very customized system with custom tool palettes amongst other things. We use the sheet set manager here with custom fields and I use the JTB SSMPE software editor. My issue is with printing. I have a template with all my print/plotting settings which I attach to the sheetset in the sheetset properties. I created all new .pc3 files for printing/plotting purposes for 2026. Creating pdfs from the sheetset works fine. I had one sheetset working perfectly, which was created using civil 3d 2022. I opened another sheet set and attached my updated page setup overrides template and I get the error: The destination directory for the ouput file does not exist. This happens when sending to a printer or plotter but creating pdfs is fine. Why would they work for one sheet set and not another. Did Autodesk mess up the sheet set in 2026? I have upgraded numerous times before and never had an issue like this. Has anyone else encountered this?

This isn't related to the page setup overrides file, it should be related to where you have the sheet set publish target. If you right click on your sheet set or a sheet, go to Publish->Sheet Set PDF Publish Options.

The path at the top of that dialog needs to exist for the sheet set.

The error message tells me that you might have had a relative path to your original sheet set and when you created the newer sheets sets, whatever path was set is still set but doesn't exist relative to that specific sheet set.
