  3. Choose Change to pick the Sheet size, the Plan scale (or Fit to sheet) and which sheets go in, such as a sheet per room.
    Change opened in the Drawing set dialog: Sheet size, Plan scale, Details at, Title block and Logo, then the sheets to tick.
  4. Choose Title block… for the project title, client, job number, drawn and checked by, and the revision. It goes on every sheet.
  5. Choose Make the drawing set. The PDF downloads and is kept under Documents produced, so you can make it again after changes.

Tips

  • Plans to lodge in the same list makes a development application set; see the councils path.
  • Add a revision with a note (Issued for council) each time you issue, and it shows in the title block.

Common mistakes

  • An empty plan: the set is made from the plan, so draw or open something first.
  • No sections sheet: add a section line in Elevations first.
Check yourself
