Request: Option in the OIP to "Replace" a worksheet.

[yasin2ray]

Request: I wish we had the option to "Replace" a worksheet on a sheet through a button on the OIP the way we can replace a symbol through the OIP in design space.

 

THANKS for considering this!

I don't understand.

 

You have a worksheet and and image of the worksheet on the drawing.

 

Now you want to replace the image of that worksheet with an image of a different worksheet?

 

The two different worksheets happen to be formatted so they have the same dimensions?

 

A use case would help explain whaat you are really trying to do.

For instance, I have a complex worksheet that sits as a summary of the project on the cover sheet. I duplicate the coversheet and want to switch out the worksheet for one with slightly altered information I can put in from another project. 

 

Area schedules, compliance, drawing lists and the like.

Even if the worksheets are a completely different size, if they had the same insertion point, it would be a huge timesaver for my current workflow

Pat,

Nothing complicated here. Sometimes the worksheet that is on a sheet is not the one I want. With symbols, we can select the symbol and in the OIP, select "Replace", and replace the symbol with another symbol. I want to be able to do this with worksheets. Worksheets have only one insertion point (to my chagrin!!! That's another request I have made) so it should be easy to swap out one with another through the OIP Replace button. Without that, to replace a worksheet I drag down the one I want, place the insertion at the same place as the one that's already there or just anywhere, then delete the worksheet that I didn't want on the sheet.

Yes, consistency in workflow will always be a good thing.
