Part 7 - Back Up Drawings Containing File Sheet Set Securely
Due to the characteristics of the Sheet Set, it is possible to attach multiple Layout drawings on the same Sheet Set file. This is great for management work. However, in the process of copying, moving drawings, Sheet Set from one location to another in a computer or copying to USB, the file path in the drive is changed or severed. Therefore, when opening the Set Sheet up may be corrupt, Layout drawings are lost associated with the parent file. Experience is:
- When executing a project, save all drawing files of that project in the same folder.
When moving or copying to another location in the device, move/copy the entire folder to avoid losing files.
- When copying to USB: copy the entire folder. Or one smart way to copy only drawings related to the Sheet Set file is to use Etransmits.
As follows:
- Right-click the name Sheet Set / Etransmits
- We will get 1 compressed file containing all .zip files related to that Sheet Set.
- When copying to USB to take away, we just need to copy this .zip file. All drawings of that Sheet Set will be saved and no link errors are concerned.
