line-weight Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I'm spending today sorting out my title block borders, rebuilding them so they work properly with the 2018 onwards system. So far in VW I've done drawing issue sheets manually. But am wondering if I should start using the 'issue manager' provided (perhaps with a little customisation). However, I don't want to invest loads of time in understanding how it works, just in order to find out that there's some crucial problem with it that makes it useless in practice (which sadly is what I've come to expect of so many VW functions). And if a drawing issue sheet gets messed up, that can be a complete nightmare to sort out. So my question is, does anyone out there currently use it in real world practice for architectural drawing issue and does it work properly? Edited January 8, 2019 by line-weight Quote Link to comment
Hans-Olav Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Hi We have started using the title block border and it works quite well Converting sheet borders from 2017 versions is better than it was in 2018 When publishing it is an option for just publishing the last issue Edited January 8, 2019 by Hans-Olav Quote Link to comment

Hans-Olav Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Yes and we have an worksheet with all issues on a cover page It was some fiddling setting it up but it is time saving now in large drawing sets when you have to issue maybe 24 of 8o drawings in a set and publish them Quote Link to comment

Thanks. So far I've managed to get the auto-generated "title block project revision history" worksheet to appear, and semi-functional. Did you use this and then customise it somehow, or did you create a custom worksheet from scratch? Edited January 8, 2019 by line-weight Quote Link to comment
line-weight Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Actually, I've now added some comments/questions to an already existing thread; perhaps it would be more useful for any discussion to continue there: Quote Link to comment
David S Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I thought @jimw was the issue manager? 🙂 1 2 Quote Link to comment
line-weight Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 @Hans-Olav I would still be interested to know what you use for your drawing register - is it the VW automatically generated one that is discussed in that other thread? Or is it one you built yourself? Quote Link to comment
