NOTE Sheet templates are defined in the project sheet set template.
The Project Sheet Set Template
Each project has a unique sheet set that collects and organizes the sheets in a the project. The sheet set is created from
a template in which the user defines the sheet set structure, the default sheet template, and page setup overrides. When
you create a project based on a template project, the sheet set template of that project is used. When you create a new
project without using a template, the default sheet set template defined in “
Setting the Default Project Options ” on
page 161 is used.
You cannot change the sheet set template after creating a project, You can, however, change the properties of the sheet
set in the project.
By default, four sheet set templates are shipped with the software:
■
Aec Sheet Set (Imperial ctb).dst
■
Aec Sheet Set (Imperial stb).dst
■
Aec Sheet Set (Metric ctb).dst

Project Standards Drawings
You can define drawings containing standard styles and display settings, as well as AutoCAD standards for a project.
Standard styles and display settings are associated to the project in the standards configuration, as described in
“
Configuring Project Standards Files ” on page 183. Project standards files can be saved within the project folder or in a
different location. For the consequences of storing project standards files outside the project, see “ Creating a New
Project Standards Drawing ” on page 371.
Project Tool Palettes
You can define a tool palette group to be used in the project. By default, the project palette group is empty when you
create a new project, unless you create a project based on a template which supplies a project palette group. For more
information, see “
Setting up Standard Tools in a Project ” on page 345.
Project Content Browser Library
For a project, you can define a Content Browser library that is opened by default when you start Content Browser from
within Project Navigator. The project library contains standard tools and palettes for the project. For more information,
see “
Setting up Standard Tools in a Project ” on page 345.
Working with Design Teams Located Remotely
The best practice for working with members of an extended team is to set up the structure for a project on a dedicated
drive of a central network server. Communicate the structure and location to remote teams so they can assign the
project the same drive letter. When all remote locations use the same mapped drive, the extended team can work on
the project without needing to re-path the drawing files as they are opened.
If you want to specify mapped drives for an existing project, organize the full project on the specific drive first. Once
you designate a mapped drive for a project, the structure, such as constructs and templates, is also mapped to the same
drive. For more information, see “
Specifying the Location of Top-Level Categories ” on page 214.
Opening a Project From a Mapped Drive
Use this procedure to open a project located on a mapped drive. You must already have the project structure organized
on that drive.
