Sheet set manager call outs

hey everyone, im trying to switch to using sheet set manager from using nothing... I can set up a basic sheet set and use it to plot but im now trying to figure out the callouts for title blocks and such. the auto cad help doesnt explain it all too well, ive only been using auto cad for about 3 or 4 months so this could be super easy and im just not seeing it. Any help on how or a site or something that goes through how to use it right would be great.

I believe what you are inquiring about are called fields and they will ROCK YOUR SOCKS if you learn how to use them. This is a quick overview of them but i think it will point you in the right direction.

It's a lot of material, but if you are not going to get training on SSM, then this is the next best thing.

There are also some videos you can watch on the subject.

I always refer folks to the Sheet Set Manager Best Practices Series to get started.

I've about halfway got the fields thing figured out. but when i make changes i have to back through and right click and select update field, is there a way to update all fields?

yeah...you should just be able to do a REGEN and have it update

be sure fieldeval is set to 31

i was trying to remember FIELDEVAL but couldnt....thanks

with it set to 31 you should be able to regen and update all fields in that drawing at once

or technically, any of these values...

16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

if you want to get all technical and stuff

Yeah, but how many people use a setting other than 31 I wonder.

that worked perfect... the way our titles are set up is to have two line of title but it will only give me one line with no option for a second. How do I set it up for two lines of text.. ive attached a drawing to show how it shows up now with two lines of the same text any suggestions
