Importing Consultant Sets into Layout Book

[Anonymous]

I have a project with a large number of sheets of consultant plans in PDF format, and I usually add each consultant sheet to its own layout sheet, to allow for correct display in the Sheet Index and easy publishing to one PDF file.

Has anyone found a faster way or automated method of importing each page from the PDF into the layout book? It seems to be a tedious process of finding the external PDF file to import, selecting the page number, and renaming the layout. Not something you want to do for 100 sheets...

Not that I know of, that is what interns are for…

What I have done is instead first to create the Subsets so that the numbering matches what the consultants are using so that I get them automatically en the Names I edit in the Index after I place all the PDFs in the Layouts.

I have been wondering how to quickly do this also. It really is great for BimX docs to have all the consultant sets also available.
