TIP The page setup override template is defined in the sheet set properties, as described in “ Setting the Properties
of the Project Sheet Set ” on page 265 .
If you have background publishing enabled, the animated plotter icon on the right side of the status bar
indicates that the publish job is in progress. Right-click this icon for options to view the DWF file or to
view information about the publish job.
Publishing a Sheet Set in Reverse Order
You can publish the sheets in a sheet set in reverse order. This is useful for plotting sheets without having to re-sort
them after they have dropped from the plotter.
1 Click Window menu
➤
Project Navigator Palette.
2 Click the Sheets tab, and click .
3 Select the sheet set, right-click and click Publish
➤
Publish in Reverse Order.
A check mark is added to the command, to set a flag that is used the next time you publish the sheet set,
as described in “
Publishing Sheets and Sheet Sets ” on page 289.
Changing Plotting Sheets: Interactions with the Project
Changes made to one part of a project frequently influence other parts of the project. The following information
describes the changes you can make to a plotting sheet and the effects of the changes on other parts of the building
project:
NOTE Because the sheet is the last stage of the project, it has fewer interactions with the project than the other components
do. For example, deleting a plotting sheet has no influence on other drawings, like views or constructs.
■
Adding a new plotting sheet: Normally, a plotting sheet is created to reference a specific view. For example, if you
create a view called “First Floor Plan,” you need to create a plotting sheet that contains this view.
■
Changing the plotting sheet name and category (location): A plotting sheet has one or more views referenced into
it. Therefore, any name and location changes to a plotting sheet need to be updated throughout the project. To
update the path, re-path the project as described in “
Updating (Re-path) the Project ” on page 292.
WARNING When you re-path a project that was saved in a version of Architectural Desktop prior to 2007, the drawings
are saved in the Architectural Desktop 2007 file format. You will no longer be able to open these drawings in a version
of Architectural Desktop prior to 2007. Synchronizing a project with the project standards will also save the project
drawings in the Architectural Desktop 2007 file format. AutoCAD Architecture 2008 uses the Architectural Desktop 2007
file format so drawings are interchangeable between these releases. For more information, see
“ Updating (Re-path) the
Project ” on page 292 .
■
For detailed information on deleting views, see “ Deleting a View Drawing ” on page 255.
Updating (Re-path) the Project
Use this procedure to update the paths within the project after making changes to the names or locations of elements,
constructs, views, or plotting sheets. For example, if you move a project file into another category, or rename it, you
must update the file to reflect that change in the Project Navigator. However, be sure that you do not need to work in
your project drawings in any version other than AutoCAD Architecture 2008.
When you re-path a project that was saved in a version of Architectural Desktop prior to 2007, the drawings are saved
in the Architectural Desktop 2007 file format. You will no longer be able to open these drawings in a version of
Architectural Desktop prior to 2007. Synchronizing a project with the project standards will also save the project
drawings in the Architectural Desktop 2007 file format. AutoCAD Architecture 2008 uses the Architectural Desktop
2007 file format so drawings are interchangeable between these releases. For more information, see Updating (Repath)
the Project. Clicking Refresh or Synchronize icons on Project Navigator is a type of re-pathing.
