Create print set

Create a print set from the selected sheets.

Ribbon location:
VP_LAYOUT > Print
Command:
CreateSelectPrintSet

1. Purpose

Bundles the selected sheets into a named print set, so the next print run only needs the set name — no reselecting sheets one by one. Use it when submissions go out in batches: one batch, one print set.

2. Quick video (≤ 2 minutes)

[Video in production — follow the steps below for now.]

3. Steps

  1. In the Project Browser, select the sheets in this print batch (hold Ctrl for multi-select). [image 01: selected sheets in the Project Browser]
  2. Click Create print set in the VP_LAYOUT tab, Print panel.
  3. The print-set naming dialog shows a name box (default VP) — type a memorable batch name such as Batch1-A1 and click OK. [image 02: print-set naming dialog]
  4. The tool saves the set. To print, run Print sheets — the new set already sits in the picker list. [image 03: new print set in the print dialog list]

4. Real-world example

This week submits batch 1: 15 architecture sheets. Select the 15 sheets, run the command, name it Batch1-Arch, OK. Next week's reprint only needs the print dialog plus Batch1-Arch — all 15 sheets, none missing.

5. Common errors

SymptomFix
The created set comes out emptyNo sheets were selected before clicking — select sheets in the Project Browser, then rerun
Name collides with an older print setThe tool overwrites the same-named set — rename, or accept the replacement and recheck the sheet list
Printout misses sheetsA set freezes at creation time — sheets added later need the set recreated/overwritten before reprinting
