Create a Plan Set

To prepare for printing/plotting onto one or more sheets, use the Create Plan Set command to create a top-level collection for your entire set of plans. The plan set is a container for one or more sheet sets. You can also save a plan set as a template exporting its contents to a Project Link file (.vcl).

Note: As an alternative to creating a plan set and sheet sets on your own, you can use the Drafting Templates command to import from a variety of pre-defined drafting templates that include a plan set and one or more sheet sets. Any of the settings from these templates can be edited to meet the needs of your project data. See Open and Save a Drafting Template for more information.

Prerequisites:

To access the command:

  • Select Create Plan Set in Drafting > Sheets.
  • Right-click Plan Sets in the Project Explorer and select Create Plan Set (available after you have created the first plan set).

To create a plan set:

  1. Enter a unique identifier for the set of plans in the Name box.
  2. Click OK.

    The plan set is created as a parent node under the the Plan Sets group in the Project Explorer, and the Create Sheet Set command appears.

Dependencies:

  • Deleting the plan set will delete any sheets sets that it includes.
