Regardless of using Plan Production Tools, or not, I'm curious to know how others work in terms of where you label your sheet drawings.
The reason I'm asking -
I've always labeled within the sheets I'm labeling, save some no-plot design info in my 'master' line work XREFs, which seems consistent with the PPT workflow (which I do not use currently). Some folks here at my office prefer to instead label everything in the applicable 'master', and just XREF that, relying on a Layer State for each sheet drawing.
The problem is, that we frequently need to share CAD (line work and text) with consultants, and the 'label in each sheet' methodology doesn't work in Civil 3D.
Back in LDD, we'd simply INSERT+EXPLODE the 'sheets' we were needing to send out, and maybe clean up some labels that overlapped at match lines, etc. If you try that in Civil 3D, with myriad DREF labels, etc. you end up with a bunch of duplicate DREFs.
So... for those of you who have to share your data (line work and labels) with consultants, what approach do you use?
