Create Your Own Drawing Sheet Library

The standard delivery of the program includes the component library Sheets (bldg_sheets). Drawing sheets for different purposes are stored in the library. You can import sheets stored in the library into the drawing sheets of a building by using the document browser function Pick Sheet from Library.

As a system administrator, you can create your own component library for drawing sheets by selecting one or more sheets from the system library and copying them to your own customer-specific library.

  1. Select System | Libraries | Libraries.
  2. Open the browser branch System Libraries / Outputs / Sheets.
  3. Select the library Sheets (Standard).
  4. Select one or more sheets in the right side browser pane.
  5. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  6. Select Copy to New Custom Library.
  7. Type a description for the library.
  8. Open the drawing sheet properties and fill in the data. Note the following fields:
    • Code - The library label of the drawing sheet that appears in the browser.
    • File - The file name of the drawing sheet. The drawing file with this name (vxp) must be in the component library folder.
    • Drawing Sheet - The file name of the drawing sheet. The drawing file with this name (vxp) must be in the component library folder.
    • Description - The description text displayed in the Sheets branch of the document browser.
    • Type Selection - The folder from which you select the sheet in the browser.

    You can also complete the document data, such as plan type, drawing type, drawing number, drawing contents, scale, etc.
