done by creating placeholder sheets in the sheet list. A placeholder sheet
can be created by adding a new row to a sheet list schedule. With the sheet
list open in the drawing area, click the Insert button on the Rows panel and
select Data Row to add a row. If you have a filter applied to your sheet list,
the new rows may not appear if they do not meet the filter requirements.
Creating a “working” sheet list that shows all sheets and information is a
useful tool for sheet management. Another sheet list can be created to be
placed on a title sheet for your construction documents.
The new row added to your sheet list has a sheet number that is the next in
sequence with the last sheet that was created. Adding a row to the schedule
does not create an actual sheet view, so the placeholder sheet does not
appear in the Project Browser. Any of the parameters used in your sheet list
can be given values for the placeholder sheet.
When the time comes to create the actual sheet that the placeholder
represents, you can choose the placeholder sheet from the New Sheet dialog
box, as shown in
Figure 23.20
. You must also choose a titleblock option for
the sheet to be created.

Choosing : placeholder sheets in the New Sheet dialog box
When you have chosen the titleblock and placeholder sheet, clicking OK
in the New Sheet dialog box creates the sheet. All the information that
was entered into the sheet list for the placeholder sheet populates the
appropriate labels in the titleblock of the sheet. The sheet now also appears
in the Project Browser.
