Sheet set to/from Excel - PRO
Digitally signed app
說明
This App will help users batch edit 8 built-in Sheet properties (Sheet Number, Sheet Title, Description, Include For Publish, Revision Number, Revision Date, Purpose, Category), all custom Sheet properties, and Sheet drawing path. Excel will be used as an external editor to make use of its AutoFill feature.

Sheet Set Manager is a powerful tool for creating, managing, and sharing the entire set of drawings from one convenient location. However, batch editing of Sheet properties is still a heavy task for most users. Besides, copying or cloning an existing sheet set is quite complicated, since the sheet drawing paths are not automatically changed.
App components
- A normal Add-in: This Add-in runs in Autodesk® AutoCAD® and AutoCAD-based applications; and supports both online and offline licenses.
- A stand-alone application (NTCL_SSEPRo.exe) which runs on Windows (7,8,10,11). An offline license file is required.
Main features of this App:
- Export Sheet properties (both built-in and custom), sheet drawing Paths to Excel
- Batch Edit Sheet properties (both built-in and custom), sheet drawing Paths with the help of Excel AutoFill.
- Import Sheet properties (both built-in and custom), sheet drawing Paths back to Sheet set file.
- Sheet set content can be in any language.
- Convert.DST to. XML and vice versa.
- Remove sheet set association data embedded in drawings.
- Clone a sheet set and copy related drawing files to another folder.
- Batch fix missing sheet drawing a path in a sheet set file.
Features Notes:
- To rebuild the sheet set association data between the sheet set file (.DST) and drawing files (.dwg), it is recommended to call the "Resave All Sheets" command from the Sheet Set Manager after editing the Sheet set. This action is mandatory if the Sheet set is edited by the Standalone App.
- Please note that the App only blindly replaces the File path. Be sure the new File path is valid and the old and new drawings files are similar (at least their layout objects must be the same) for maintaining a valid sheet set file after replacement.
- App interfaces support seven languages. However, progress messages are in the text box, and some message boxes are in English.

I like the idea of using Excel to batch edit sheet set number and title. The Project clone wizard is very useful.
Thank you for your review.
