Place Project Information on a Layout
Information about a project, or the layouts and views in a project can be
inserted as a field onto a layout that a project references. When the information
in a project is changed, the fields that reference the project are updated to
reflect the latest value when the layout is saved, printed, or published.
Placeholder fields are used to reference project information in a drawing
template or block. When a drawing template or block containing a placeholder
field is added to a project or layout in a project, the field value is resolved. If
the field value of a placeholder field is not resolved, the field displays ####
as its current value. For a list of available placeholder fields and information
about fields, see
Insert Fields
(page 350).
Publish Layouts and Projects
After you have organized drawings, you can publish the project as a package.
Use the Publish feature to output the layouts in a project to a printer or PDF
in either normal or reverse order. If you select a layout to publish, only that
layout is added to the Batch Publish dialog box. Selecting a group adds all the
layouts in that group to the Batch Publish dialog box, while selecting the
project name adds all layouts in the project to the dialog box.
You can exclude a layout or group from being published by changing the
values of the Include for Publish or Publish Sheets in Subsets properties in the
Details panel.
Use Page Setups
Page setups provide the settings that are used for publishing and printing.
When you create a project, you can specify a drawing template (DWT) file
that contains one or more page setups for all new layouts. This DWT file is
called the sheet creation template.
Another DWT file, called the page setup overrides file, contains page setups that
can be specified to override the page setups in each layout. You specify the
page setup overrides file in the Details panel.
When you publish a project, you can use the page setups defined in each
drawing file, you can use the page setup overrides for all drawing files, or you
can publish to a PDF file.
