Drawing with Multiple Sheets

NEALROSENBLUM · ‎Mar 13, 2014

Hey Everybody,

Is there a way to scroll through a multisheet drawing without having to explicitly click the various tabs at the bottom of the active window to view a particular sheet. I remember in Wildfire 4.0(?) how i was able to select a left or right arrow to easily navigate throught multiple drawing sheets.

In Wildfire 5.0, there are arrows but the arrows move the ribbon of tabs from left to right, but thisdoes not put you on subsequent sheets. Only after you see the sheet of interest in the tab ribbon can you select the sheet of interest to activate that particular sheet.

Also, my current drawing has about 20 sheets, but only about 10 tabs show at any given time (I named the various tabs so some of the tabs have alot of text). Is there any way to show 2 or 3 rows of tabs? Or am I limited to show only one line of tabs?

TIA.

(Wildfire 5.0, M060, Dell Precision M6600)

Try these mapkeys:

!next sheet
mapkey sn ~ Command `ProCmdDwgGotoSheet` ;~ Activate `gotosheet` `Next`;\
~ Activate `gotosheet` `Close`;

!previous sheet
mapkey sr ~ Command `ProCmdDwgGotoSheet` ;~ Activate `gotosheet` `Prev`;\
~ Activate `gotosheet` `Close`;

You can also doubleclick the sheet name ie "SHEET 2" OF 3 to bring up a dialog in which you can do
Previous, Next, or simply enter a sheet number. This dialog stays up until you specifically close it.
