Creating a Sheet Library

To create a new SHLB, proceed as follows:
-
Navigate to the appropriate LIBY level in the existing hierarchy or, if necessary, use Create > Library to add a new LIBY.
-
Select Create > Sheet Library.
It is recommended that you give the new SHLB a name that will make its content obvious to users.
-
The SHLB is effectively a drawing sheet template that aligns with the BACKs and OVERs that it owns, so you must specify its dimensions (either explicitly in the Width and Height boxes, or by selecting a standard sheet size from the drop-down list). This size will be cascaded down to BACK and OVER level.
-
If you wish to define attributes at SHLB level, such that they will be cascaded down to BACK or OVER level, click on the Attributes button and change the settings on the Sheet Library form. (You can modify these attributes for individual BACKs or OVERs later if you wish.)
