I am the only one in my office who uses them and I seem to be fighting against a lot of others who do not see the possibilities of Sheet Sets. I have set up my own Title Block as a Block with Attributes that are linked to my Sheet Set information, as you instruct above. On one particular job I have run into a problem. Over night the linked Attributes become unlinked. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, if anything at all. Have you ever run into this? Does it have to do with the fact that my Title block is on a locked layer or could it be something else? I hope you can help, Thanks, Jessie I have been using Sheet Sets for a year now, and I am still learning.

Can you please get back to me on this subject. Thank you EJV Hi , Im having problems working with sheet set manager. i was wondering if you can shed some light on the subject.

They work in the same way as attributes in blocks. At the company I work for, we also reference our borders, but our sheet-level information is inserted as a block into individual drawings. Using AutoCAD fields work in the same way because you will insert them into attributes as well for them to work in this way. I agree that referencing fields would be a huge improvement on the current method. I actually submitted a wishlist item to AUGI for getting the ability to xref fields and them still operate properly. It didnt get voted through to the top ten, but I'm going to resubmit it during the next voting cycle. Simple answer, no. They work in the same way as attributes in blocks.
