In PM Navigator, set to Tree by Subset, open/expand subfolders. THEN screen capture the portion of window. Insert that JPG or whatever resulting file into your title sheet. It's not the most highly resolved image, but it does work. Nobody has complained since we have been doing it this way.
Good luck,
Scott

I usually create a list in MS Excel, which I then paste in plotmaker.

The link to MS Excel is live, so the drawing is automatically updated if someone (manually) updates the spreadsheet.
The advantage of this is that it's easier to update a drawing list in excel (you don't need someone with cad experience to do it).

We do the Same except it is a MS Word Doc and not a spread sheet. It can be argued that one even needs less experience to edit a Word File.

Yet I like the Borders and I can do them much easier in a spreadsheet. We may just switch......

Our cover sheet is usually an independent detail in the project and we just type it out manually 😞
