Index of drawings ?

Anonymous — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 15:58:17 GMT

Is there a way to have the auto sheet index display the same drawing order as
the layout book (over-ride the alphanumeric)
My mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire suppression drawings are in the wrong order.

If this is not an easy thing to do They can stay where they are.
It bothers me that the mechanical is in between the plumbing and fire suppression. I like MEPF order, but...

Organize Layouts within Subsets?

Also if in the Index you don't select that it sort by order then it should mirror the Layout Book order

Index sorting off.

Thank you!

I turned sorting off on both the ID and the Name and it worked.
Drawing order matches the layout book.
The only drawback to the auto index is that I'm having to eliminate everything that's not part of the working drawings set from the layout book.
It's my understanding that using subsets will allow selected content in the layout book to not be included in the working drawing sheet index?

If this is true I will try to utilize this feature on my next job.
