Changing the sheet format of any SOLIDWORKS drawing can be an unwanted task, especially if one has multiple sheets upon which to swap the format.
SOLIDWORKS 2017 has new functionality that swoops in for the assist. A new “Select Sheets to Modify” button now appears within the Sheet Properties dialog as shown in the figure below:
This option will allow you to select from a list of existing sheets, so that you can apply sheet properties, sheet formats, and zone parameters to as many sheets as you would prefer — all at the same time!
Changing a SOLIDWORKS Sheet Format
- Open the Sheet Properties dialog via right-click on any Sheet.
- From the Sheet Properties tab, select the “Select Sheets to Modify” button.
- Select the sheets to change by selecting the checkboxes and Select OK.
- Set the desired Sheet Properties and Zone Parameters.
- Click Apply Changes.
Sheet Selection
The results are exactly as you would expect, all of the specified sheets have their sheet properties modified!
