Creating the I3 Schedules Sheet by Duplicating and Renaming the Existing Drawing Tab in Your Set

Duplicate and rename an existing drawing sheet to create the I3 Schedules layout in your project set.

Discover the step-by-step process of creating a new sheet in a drawing set using the I2 tab as a base. Learn how to rename the tab, update the sheet number, change the sheet name, and delete unneeded content from the viewport.

Key Insights:

  • The article guides through the process of creating a copy of the I2 tab and moving it to the end of the drawing set for future modifications.
  • The new tab is then renamed to I-3, and the sheet number and name are updated to I3 and 'Schedules' respectively to better represent the content of the tab.
  • Lastly, unnecessary content such as the viewport and two view titles from the floor plans is deleted to clean up the sheet.

Now, let's create the next sheet in our drawing set, I3 Schedules. We'll begin by opening tab I2, right-click on that tab, and we will select Move or Copy. We want to click Move to End and check Create a Copy and click OK.

That basically duplicates the I2 sheet. Let's click on it now. We'll double-click right on that tab and rename it.

We want to call this tab I-3 and click Enter to lock that in. Then we'll double-click on our title block. We want to update the sheet number to I3, and we want to also update the sheet name, and we'll call it Schedules, and click OK.

With that, we want to select our viewport, that's a view of our floor plans, and click Delete. And we also want to delete our two view titles.
