Topic: List Drawings in Sheet Set

[Guest]

I'm looking for a way to list the drawings that are referenced into a Sheet Set.  Does anyone have any snippets they'd like to share?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure how to access sheetset stuff via VBA as I've never needed to do that.

But I did once need a simple listing of the files in a sheet set and was able to get that by selecting "Publish Dialog Box" from the Sheet Set Manager. Inside the Publish Dialog box you can save that list as a *.DSD file, which is a plain text file that lists DWG, layout name, etc.. That file is in a format that should be fairly easy to parse programatically.

I am working on changing the custom properties in the sheet set but I have come across code that may help you

Try this:

Make sure you set a reference to The the type library
AcSMComponents1.0 Type Library

Code: [Select]

'This example lists all sheet sets
Sub Example_SSListAll()

    Dim sheetset As New sheetset
    ' Get the sheet set manager
    Dim ssMgr As New AcSmSheetSetMgr
    Dim dbIter As IAcSmEnumDatabase
    Dim db As IAcSmDatabase
   
    Set dbIter = ssMgr.GetDatabaseEnumerator
   
    Set db = dbIter.Next
    Do While Not db Is Nothing
        ThisDrawing.Utility.Prompt ("----------BEGIN------------" & vbCrLf)
        sheetset.List db
        Set db = Nothing
        Set db = dbIter.Next
        ThisDrawing.Utility.Prompt ("---------- END ------------" & vbCrLf)
    Loop
   
    Set dbIter = Nothing
    Set ssMgr = Nothing
   
    ThisDrawing.Application.Update

End Sub

Also, any help with the custom properties would be appreciated!

I found that buried in one of the folders.  I've got something that is working (almost).

As for the custom properties, have you seen these?

I have already been threw the sheetset count and some other methods on there, however one thing did catch my eye.
I am going to print he pdf and see what I can find out

Thank you!

Did the method that I post help you with what you needed?
