From
the Sheet Set Manager, you can easily publish an entire sheet set,
a subset of a sheet set, or a single sheet. It is quicker to publish
a sheet set in the Sheet Set Manager rather than using the Publish
dialog box.
When you publish from the Sheet Set
Manager, you can publish an electronic sheet set by publishing to
a DWF, DWFx, or PDF file, or you can publish a paper set by publishing
to the plotter named in the page setup that is associated with each
drawing sheet. You can also publish your sheets using a page setup
that is saved in the page setup overrides DWT file associated with
the sheet set. This page setup overrides the current page setup
settings for the individual publish job.
When
you open the Publish dialog box from the Sheet Set Manager, the
Publish dialog box automatically lists the sheets you selected in
the sheet set. You can then modify the sheet set for publishing.
NoteYou can specify that
sheets are sent to the plotter in reverse order. This option is
available from the Publish dialog box and from the Sheet Set Manager.
