Sheets Panel

The Sheets Panel automates sheet creation, numbering, and grid management. Tools range from single-click conveniences to full wizard-driven workflows capable of processing hundreds of sheets in a single transaction.

Moved to other panels:

• Revision management, keynote tools, legend tools, and crop-region utilities now live in the Annotations Panel.
• Viewport tools (Organize Views, Copy Views, Move Views, Pin All Viewports, Open Selected Viewport, Reorder Selected Viewport) now live in the Views Panel.

Sheet Forge Hub

Sheet Forge Hub is the consolidated sheet-creation workspace: a dockable studio that unifies Sheet Forge, Batch Sheet Maker, presets, and revision flows behind a single entry point. Use the Hub when working on a large sheet set over time; fall back to the individual tools for one-off operations.

Sheet Creation

Two tools handle new sheet creation: Batch Sheet Maker and Sheet Forge. Choose Batch Sheet Maker when you are creating sheets from scratch with no existing source sheets to reference -- for example, at the start of a project when you have a sheet list in a spreadsheet. Choose Sheet Forge when you need to duplicate an existing sheet set, because it carries over viewport placements, view content, parameters, and template assignments automatically.

Sheet Forge is a splitpushbutton -- click the large button to launch the wizard directly, or open the dropdown for Load Preset, Save Preset, and Undo Last. Batch Sheet Maker and Select Sheets are promoted as small buttons in the Sheet Setup stack for one-click access, with additional sheet tools (Copy Sheets, List TitleBlocks, Reorder Sheets) in the attached dropdown.

Sheet Renaming

Sheet renaming tools operate on the sheet number and sheet name parameters directly. They are useful when a project undergoes a discipline or area reorganization that requires changing a range of sheet numbers, when a firm's naming convention changes mid-project, or when sheet names need case-normalization before issuing a set.

Renumber Views

Click viewports in order to assign sequential detail numbers. Replaces the tedious process of manually editing each viewport's detail number in the properties palette. Click elements in the order you want them numbered (1, 2, 3...) and Pyvoid handles the renumbering transactionally to avoid "number already in use" errors.

Grid Renamer

Batch renaming for grid lines with preset support. Useful when a project switches naming conventions mid-stream, or when coordinating grid naming between discipline models.

Slideout Tools

The slideout contains tools that are used less frequently than the main panel buttons but are still important for sheet production finishing work: preset management (Load, Save, Manage) and Undo Last for reverting the most recent Sheet Forge operation.
