Transcript

00:04

Autocad sheet set automatically tracks any named views in your sheets.

00:08

You can access them from the sheet views tab of the sheet set manager.

00:13

Let's click on that tab. Now

00:14

for simplicity,

00:15

I've added just a few example views to some of the existing plan sheets.

00:20

Here we see them listed by the sheet. They are on

00:24

right. Click on a view to display its pop up menu.

00:27

The first thing I want to point out here is

00:29

that you can categorize your views for more control.

00:32

However, when I click on set category, the

00:34

flyout menu only shows none,

00:37

you'll have to change your view to create a named category

00:40

just above the sheet set window.

00:42

There's a title bar that reads view by sheet

00:45

on the right side of that are two icons.

00:48

The icon on the right is the current view by sheet.

00:51

Let's click on the left icon to change to view by category.

00:55

You'll see our sheet set along with the four views listed beneath it.

00:59

We want to add a new category for them.

01:01

So right, click on the sheet set and select new view category.

01:06

The view category dialogue will be displayed type

01:09

in existing for our new category name.

01:12

You can also manage your call out blocks here.

01:15

Not all call outs will be used for every category.

01:17

So you will need to select those that

01:19

apply to your category from the selection panel.

01:22

In our simple example, we want to use both that we added.

01:25

So make sure to check them here.

01:27

Notice also that you can also add more blocks

01:30

here like we did from the sheet set properties.

01:32

Click OK. To exit the dialogue,

01:35

the new existing category should now be at the bottom of our list.

01:39

It's a manual process to move each view into the category

01:42

one at a time, drag and drop each view into the new existing category folder.

01:49

Now you should see the four views displayed by category in the sheet set manager.
