Sheet Set Manager: Optimize Projects with DraftSight Premium

By

DraftSight Premium’s Sheet Set Manager helps organize your files and reduce repetitive tasks, streamlining your workflow from setup to completion. This is important because managing multiple drawings across different stages of a project can quickly become complex.

Benefits of DraftSight’s CAD Sheet Set Manager 

DraftSight’s Sheet Set Manager helps teams maintain project organization and consistency. CAD Managers often rely on it to maintain uniform drawing properties and ensure repeatable and efficient project setups. Sheet Set Manager templates and title blocks can be used across every sheet. It’s especially useful for projects that involve multiple contributors or repeatable structures.

Deliverables are also simpler to handle. The built-in Pack-and-Go feature makes it easy to collect and share everything needed at project completion, whether it’s for internal archives or client handoff.

How to Use Sheet Set Manager

To open Sheet Set Manager, go to the Palettes tab or enter SHEETSET in the command line. You can start from scratch or use a sheet set manager template if your projects follow a familiar structure.

You can add sheets to Sheet Set Manager by linking existing drawings from your project folder or creating new ones within the interface. You can also assign sheet properties and connect them to your title blocks. This setup maintains consistency and minimizes manual updates.
