I don't like the way it looks by default and at my company we have a standard drawing index that we use. Is there anyone that could help me figure out where and how to create a table to make it look like our standards. Or if anyone could help me figure out how to import my drawing index from excel to come out with fields and the formula's already inputted just like the "Insert sheet list table".
I've used SSM for all of our projects since entering the world of CAD production; never been a fan of the built-in Index functionality (among other shortcomings).
That said, there's no need to export, import, etc... Just edit the text entities that makeup your standard drawing index, and right click, and select 'Insert Field...' from the context menu.
In the Field dialog, change Field category, and Field names to SheetSet, and navigate down to the target drawing for the reference your trying to indicate in your Index.
As an example, I created an SSM Sub-set for each sheet type specified in our drawing Index, then locate the individual sheets within that Sub-set. I then Field refernce the Sub-set for the Index item, and Field reference the first and last sheets in that Sub-set (using Property == SheetNumber) to indicate the applicable sheet numbers for that sheet type if that makes sense.
Unfortunately, this is not dynamically linked to SSM en-mass, and may require incremental maintenance throughout the various phases of plans production, but has been very useful for our work over the years.
