Managing pages

Adding, exporting and grouping sheets, and the bulk tools that run over all of them.

Document > Manage Pages opens the sheet list: every page in the project with its number, title, description and scale.

Adding and exporting

Grouping

Tools > Group Pages… sorts sheets into groups - by discipline, by phase, by whatever the set needs. Two things worth knowing about removing one:

The Tools menu

These run over the whole set rather than one sheet.

Load / Reload All PagesLoads every page, or reloads pages already loaded.
Re-analyze All PagesRuns the page analysis again across the set.
OCRThree text-recognition passes. See Page text.

Auto Detect reads the drawing; it does not invent. On a set whose title blocks it cannot read - a scan with no text layer is the usual case - run OCR first and detect afterwards.

Auto Detect and Re-analyze are part of the Advanced feature set. They run the automatic page reading that pulls titles and sheet numbers off the title blocks. OCR, search, and grouping pages by source file or by a title you typed yourself all stay available without it, so a Standard subscription can do everything here by hand. The trial includes the automatic reading in full.
