Class Description

The Sheet Set feature was first introduced with AutoCAD® 2005 and is very powerful, but did you know you can create and modify sheet sets without using the Sheet Set Manager? You will learn about working with sheet set files that are open in the Sheet Set Manager, creating a sheet set from scratch, using existing data from an external source to populate properties of a sheet set, and obtaining information from drawings that are in a sheet set. This is not a class on how to use the Sheet Set Manager in AutoCAD, but rather a class that takes a look at working with sheet set files with VB.NET. You will need to know how to work in the VB.NET environment and write macros.
