Set up a drawing sheet

  1. From the Application menu , choose the Sheet Setup command.

  2. In the Sheet Setup dialog box, set the options you want.

    Note:

    If you want to set up a background sheet, click the Background tab and set the options you want.

Tip:

  • You can save the sheet setup as a default using the Save Defaults button in the Sheet Setup dialog box. The current settings will then be used as the default settings for any new drawing sheets you create in the document.

  • You can set options for an existing drawing sheet by double-clicking a background sheet tab to access the Sheet Setup dialog box, or by using the shortcut menu. To display the shortcut menu, right-click while the cursor is over a sheet tab.

  • You can change the default color of sheet tabs using options on the Colors tab (Solid Edge Options dialog box).

  • Drawing sheet tabs can be labeled with the sheet number, sheet name, or both. You can set these options on the View tab, Solid Edge Options dialog box (Draft).

  • You can use callouts and other types of annotations to extract and display property text that identifies the sheet name, number, and scale of the active drawing sheet. For example, you can place a callout on a shared background sheet, in the drawing border title block, so that it displays the sheet scale on each working sheet.

    To create a callout that extracts the Sheet Name, Sheet Number, and Sheet Scale properties, see the Help topic, Create property text.
