Implementing Sheet Sets for Maximum Efficiency - Automate Callout Data
The AutoCAD Blog has been publishing a series of articles related to "Mastering AutoCAD Sheet Sets" for several months now. You can access all the previously published library of Sheet Set articles HERE.
"Most sheet sets contain information that is interrelated. For example, a view on one sheet might refer to a view on a different sheet. Using traditional methods, you can manually maintain the text references between sheets, but that process can be tedious and error-prone. You can dramatically improve your productivity and minimize errors by updating your existing blocks to include fields. In addition to automatically updating textual data as changes occur, hyperlinks enable you to quickly open the sheet that is referenced by the callout and zoom to the appropriate view."
