I'm having trouble with sheet set manager in AutoCAD 2007. I can create the sheet set but then it won't let me add sheets or modify properties. After I create the sheet set all the layouts in SSM appear locked. Any ides how I can bring them in unlocked?

Are your individual sheets separate drawings or multiple layouts in the same drawing?
Will it let you open and save the locked sheets?
If they are multiple layouts in the same drawing, then they all will appear locked.

they are all layouts in one drawing.
It appears I can manipulate Sheet set manager only one time after I start CAD. Then it locks up and won't let me edit anymore until I close and relaunch CAD.
I know my sheets can't belong to more than one sheet set. Is there a way to check the affiliation of a sheet?
Maybe it's another 2007 flaw.

Close the sheet set.
Close the SSM (Sheet Set Manager)
Open the drawing in AutoCAD and if it is affiliated with a sheet set, it will open the sheet set in the SSM.

I believe I have found a way to edit my sheet set properties and add layouts, etc. It appears that using the mouse does not work in the SS manager menus, but using the menu key on the keyboard, and then selecting the option (e.g. 'import layout as sheet') with keys works in 2007. i don't know why, but the same error seems to happen in the xref menus.
