Sheets, sheet subsets, sheet views, and sheet drawings are listed on the Sheets
tabs of the Project Navigator.
Sheets and Sheet Drawings
The National CAD Standard (NCS) mandates that sheets should be stored in
individual drawings, each with one sheet layout. The drawing name should
be the sheet number in its sheet set. The AutoCAD Architecture Project
Navigator follows this standard, so that each new sheet is placed in a new
sheet drawing. You can, however, create multiple sheets in one sheet drawing,
if necessary. For more information, see Importing the Current Layout as a
Sheet on page 480.
Sheets and Annotation
Although it is recommended that annotation be placed in a view, you can
add annotation, dimensions, and schedule tables in a view or a sheet,
depending on your specific workflow and needs. Scheduling in AutoCAD
Architecture makes it easy to add annotation in both views and sheets. For
more information on annotating a project, see Workflow for Annotating a
Project on page 515.
Sheet Drawing Files
A sheet drawing is a DWG file. As opposed to other non-project drawing files,
an XML file with the same name is created when you create a sheet drawing.
The accompanying XML file contains information to connect the drawing
file with the project.
NOTE The XML file is created and updated automatically. You do not need to
edit it but be careful not to accidentally delete it in Windows Explorer.
Sheets and sheet views are contained within sheet drawings. There are no
corresponding XML files for individual sheets or sheet views.
Sheet Categories and Subsets
Sheets are organized in 2 different methods. In the Explorer View, sheet
drawings are placed in category folders. When you create sheets or sheet views
within a sheet drawing, they are placed in the host sheet drawing.
