Modifying Subsets Properties

You can specify the properties during the subset creation or you can modify them later, using the Properties option from the subsets context menu in the Sheet Set Manager palette.

Drawing Sheet Creation Template

Specifies the default drawing template file (.dwt) and the name of the sheet used to create new drawing files for this subset. Optionally, you can specify a different drawing sheet creation template when creating each drawing sheet.

Note: To specify a different template when creating new sheets, set the Prompt for Template to Yes.

To change the drawing sheet creation template (for a subset):

  1. In the Subset Properties dialog box, in Drawing Sheet Creation Template, click .
  2. In the Select Sheet as Drawing Sheet Template dialog box, click .
  3. Navigate to the .dwt file to use as template and click Open.

    The dialog box displays the list of sheets from the specified template.

  4. Select the sheet.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Optionally, in Prompt for template, select Yes to specify the sheet creation template every time you create a drawing sheet in the drawing sheet set.
