project number and name defined in “

Setting the Properties of a Sheet Subset
Use this procedure to set the properties of a sheet subset.
A sheet subset is a logical organization unit within the project sheet set. You can create sheet subsets for plan sheets,
detail sheets, or elevation sheets. The sheet subset structure is not automatically identical to the folder structure in the
Explorer View tab. It is recommended that you use parallel structures for sheet subsets and sheet categories.
You can set the following parameters for a sheet subset:
■
The default folder location for new sheets created in this subset
■
The default template for new sheets created in this subset
■
Whether to be prompted for a sheet template each time you create a new sheet
These parameters are set in sheet set properties., but you can override them here for individual subsets. This would be
useful if you want to use different sheet templates for plan sheets and detail sheets.
If you have no sheet subsets in your sheet set yet, see “ Creating a Sheet Subset ” on page 268.
