Using LISPS with Sheet set manager

Anonymous

Hello all,

 

Is there a way that I could use a lisp to update text inside the Sheet Properties of a sheet set?

 

I am asking because I am currently trying to figure out the best way to implement SSM with my company but there just seems to be problem after problem. the most current problem is any time I create a new layout tab inside a file, I cant get the information from the tab I duplicated to carry over in SSM. the fields maintain the same data as the previous tab though. I have a lisp that will convert fields to text and I have a lisp that can reinsert fields, I am just missing the crusial part of updating the SSM properties with the proper text.

 

If there is a better way to update those fields, I am open to suggestions.

 

p.s - I know you can update all the properties in the sheet set so when you add a new sheet it comes with those but updating that constantly doesnt seem very effective.

AutoLisp cannot be used to drive the sheet set manager.  You need VBA or .NET.

 

That said, why are you converting fields to text?

When you duplicate a layout and them modify, you should use the ssm to import the layout as a sheet in the ssm.
