Sheet Organization
Whether you are creating a single-discipline template or one for use by
multiple disciplines, it is important to establish the organization of your
drawing sheets to make sheet management consistent from project to
project.
Setting up sheet organization is similar to setting up the organization of
views. You can set up the Browser Organization for the Sheets system family
with different types to organize your sheets in any manner desired. To
access this system family, right-click Sheets in the Project Browser and
select Properties. Use the New button in the type properties of the system
family to create a new organization method. It is helpful to name the type
based on how it organizes the sheets so that what the type is used for is
clear to all users. Once you have created a new family type, you can click the
Edit button of the Folders parameter to set the organization settings.
Figure

shows a sample of the settings for an organization type that is based on
the discipline of sheets. In this example, the sheets are numbered using a
discipline prefix and then organized by the first character in order to group
each discipline's sheets together.

Additional parameters can be applied to sheets that can be used as a basis
for organization. These parameters can be included as project parameters
in your template so that when a new sheet is created, it will have the
parameters applied to it. If you create a drawing list that appears on your

of the list, which may not always match the order in the Project Browser.
