How to place a Worksheet onto a Layout?

Hi everyone,

I’m working with Archicad 27, and I have a Worksheet that I want to place onto a Layout for printing/exporting purposes.

I’m not sure what’s the correct procedure to link the Worksheet to a Layout. I’ve tried using the "Place Drawing" command, but I’m confused about how to correctly select the Worksheet and keep it updated. Maybe use API C++

Can someone walk me through the correct steps?

Thank you in advance!

I am not an API programmer, but in Archicad, you would save a View of the Worksheet. Then you would place the View as a Drawing on a Layout. The View will be the source of the Drawing placed on the Layout. Maybe this info will help you figure it out step by step.

Look at the Do_PlaceWorksheetOnLayout function in the Element_Test example ( Element_Basics.cpp)
(Other related functions in the Element_Drawing.cpp)
