I imagine something similar has happened to most of you. Your project\u2019s template file(s) have some pre-set information in the title block. The CAD manager sets the engineer\u2019s initials as TAE, as he\u2019s been there for twenty years and his initials are on <em>every<\/em> set that goes out. Besides, if left to individual users, you\u2019d sometimes get TE, T.A.E., or Tae. You know it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Midway through the project, old Thomas Alva Edison leaves for a new job. You get tasked with updating hundreds of drawings to reflect the new engineer\u2019s initials. Let\u2019s be honest: at this point, you wish you had scheduled that root canal for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wouldn\u2019t it be great if this task was reduced to a couple of clicks? That\u2019s where today\u2019s topic comes in. With the proper custom properties created in your Sheet Set, that\u2019s what you get: a fix in a couple of clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sheet-set-custom-properties\">Sheet Set Custom Properties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I wrote about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/blogs\/autocad\/sheet-set-manager-tuesday-tips-with-frank\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">benefits of using the Sheet Set Manager<\/a> awhile back.  But I only touched on custom properties, and in all honesty, that\u2019s one of its most powerful features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many things in AutoCAD, you can access the Sheet Set Properties dialog via the right-click contextual menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right-clicking on anything listed in the Sheets panel will get you a Properties entry, but the only place to define custom properties is via the top-level sheet set node. When the Sheet Set Properties dialog is displayed, you\u2019ll see the first type of property available \u2013 the four built-in Project Control properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, handy information, but somewhat limited. The real power comes from the Edit Custom Properties button at the bottom of the dialog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/05\/SSM-Props_1.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"950\" data-lbwps-height=\"526\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/05\/SSM-Props_1-300x166.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/05\/SSM-Props_1.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Edit Custom Properties button for Sheet Sets in AutoCAD\" class=\"wp-image-14259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/05\/SSM-Props_1.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/05\/SSM-Props_1-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/05\/SSM-Props_1-768x425.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click it to display the Custom Properties list dialog. We haven\u2019t created any yet, so at this point, it\u2019s empty. On the right are two buttons: Add and Delete. Choose the one that\u2019s not disabled. You\u2019ll finally get to the Add Custom Property dialog. It\u2019s pretty simple; you\u2019ll give your property a name and a default value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is where you\u2019ll also find the two other kinds of Sheet Set Properties. In the lower-left corner, you have two choices. Will this Custom Property be owned by the Sheet Set itself (a global property), or will individual sheets own it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/05\/SSM-Props_2.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"593\" data-lbwps-height=\"520\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/05\/SSM-Props_2-300x263.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"593\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/05\/SSM-Props_2.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Add Custom Property button for Sheet Sets in AutoCAD\" class=\"wp-image-14262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/05\/SSM-Props_2.jpg 593w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/05\/SSM-Props_2-300x263.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For our example, I\u2019ll create a sheet-owned property of \u201cDrawn By\u201d \u2013 as that may differ from sheet to sheet. I\u2019ll also make a couple of global sheet properties \u2013 the total number of sheets and our engineer, TAE. Since this is a tips blog, I have an insider tip for you. Notice there is no Edit button. If you\u2019ve made a mistake, you must delete and recreate the custom property. When you\u2019re done, keep clicking on OK to dismiss all the dialogs and save your settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_3.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"594\" data-lbwps-height=\"297\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_3-300x150.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"594\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_3.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Custom Property box for Sheet Sets in AutoCAD\" class=\"wp-image-14266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_3.jpg 594w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_3-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-next-step\">The Next Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, now you\u2019ve got three types of properties in your Sheet Set\u2026 what\u2019s next? Now, it\u2019s time to map them to your title block. You\u2019ll do this using AutoCAD\u2019s fields. Since this isn\u2019t a blog about fields, I\u2019ll not spend much time deep diving into them, but if you\u2019re curious, there are several past posts about them, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/blogs\/autocad\/autocad-fields-exploring-features-benefits-autocad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">including this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the image below, I\u2019ve applied the built-in project property of Project No., along with our normal engineer of TAE. Finally, the Custom Sheet Set property of Total Sheets has also been added. Let\u2019s step through the important steps of applying our custom sheet property of Drawn By.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_4.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"817\" data-lbwps-height=\"564\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_4-300x207.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"817\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_4.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Enhanced Attribute Editor box for Sheet Sets in AutoCAD\" class=\"wp-image-14269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_4.jpg 817w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_4-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_4-768x530.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 817px) 100vw, 817px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, we\u2019re dealing with block attributes, but fields can also be applied to Mtext. Again, highlight the value and right-click to display the Field dialog. The first thing you\u2019ll want to do is select the correct field category. Expand the pulldown and select SheetSet. The panel on the left will populate with all the fields available to you from within a sheet set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to add the drafter&#8217;s initials for this sheet, which we applied to a custom property owned by the sheet. Select CurrentSheetCustom (those owned by the sheet set are in CurrentSheet<strong><em>Set<\/em><\/strong>Custom); since there are possibly multiple properties, a custom name dropdown menu will appear beneath the Format panel. Choose wisely if you have more than one, note the value that appears in the upper right box, click OK, and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_5.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"903\" data-lbwps-height=\"469\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_5-300x156.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"903\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_5.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of choosing Custom Property in AutoCAD\" class=\"wp-image-14272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_5.jpg 903w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_5-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/04\/09\/SSM-Props_5-768x399.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 903px) 100vw, 903px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to our engineer leaving the company scenario\u2026 by using Sheet Sets and custom properties, all you have to do is replace the old engineer initials with the new ones. How\u2019s that for saving hours of work? Trust me, it beats the alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheet Sets, their custom properties, and Fields are all underutilized, in my opinion. They offer so much functionality, and you don\u2019t even need to use everything they offer to gain a lot of productivity. In fact, while writing this, I\u2019ve decided to make an aspect of fields the topic of my next Tuesday Tip.
