Practice Exercise: Configure and manage design output

00:00

This is the solution video for configure and manage design output.

00:05

In

00:05

a

00:06

there are many possible ways to approach any given task and what is

00:09

best and most intuitive for one user may not be for another.

00:13

These solutions videos demonstrate just one set of work flows

00:16

that could be taken when working through these practice exercises.

00:20

They are not intended to be step by step instructions but rather a

00:24

guided tour of one user's approach and rationale in completing this exercise.

00:28

After opening the A one sheet and the sheet set,

00:31

we'll open up the page set up manager from the sheet set manager pallet

00:35

and create a new page set up based on the existing one.

00:38

This page set up will be for a PDF

00:42

that'll be used for reduced size prints.

00:45

We'll go 18 by 12 for the media size. We'll plot the extensive what's on paper space

00:51

and I'm just gonna scale it so that it fits the paper since it's a reduced set,

00:55

the actual scale of the final plot is not critical.

00:58

I'm gonna choose scale line weights so that I don't have to

01:02

create a special plot style table for this reduced size set,

01:06

choosing scale line weights will reduce all of

01:09

the line weights proportionally for the reduced output.

01:12

Since we started the page set up manager from the sheet set.

01:16

This new page setup is stored in the template file associated with the sheet set.

01:20

It's not stored in the A one drawing that

01:22

we're currently editing on the enlarged restroom's layout sheet.

01:26

We'll insert a saved view as a viewport on this layout

01:30

which will add as a new sheet to the sheet set

01:34

before we can import this layout as a new sheet.

01:36

Then the sheet set, we need to save this A 01 drawing.

01:40

We'll import the new sheet

01:42

into the architectural subset.

01:49

Update the sheet properties to reflect the title and the sheet

01:53

number that we want it to have in the sheet set

02:01

and then review the sheet sets,

02:03

custom properties and that's reflected on all of the sheets throughout the set.

02:11

By opening the publish dialog box directly from the sheet set.

02:15

The dialog box opens prepopulated with all of the sheets in the sheet set.

02:20

We'll select all the sheets and import the new page

02:23

set up that we created from the sheet sets template.

02:36

And before we publish,

02:37

we can save this sheet list so that we can

02:39

easily generate this reduced set PDF in the future.
