Creating Your First Plan Sheet

The reason you referenced the title block drawing in your plan sheet template was to keep from having to manually reference it in each and every plan sheet. Once you’ve referenced it in the plan sheet template drawing, AutoCAD will automatically attach the reference, on the correct layer, to each plan sheet you create. Sheet Set Manager provides a slightly more streamlined sheet creation process, but for those times when you may not want to use Sheet Set Manager, this process is one of the more common approaches. Choosing whether to use Sheet Set Manager isn’t something you have to do from the start. You’ll add the cover sheet you’re about to create as an existing drawing to your sheet set.
