Has anyone figured out how to copy a plan set page from one plan set to another? We have a situation where we need an elevation sheet that has a single elevation to replace an elevation sheet that has two elevations on it. Rather than recreate the sheets in the plan set, we'd like to copy the single elevation plan set page into the other plan set. But, when I copy the plan set page in the explorer folder it does not show up. And, you cannot drag and drop from one plan set to another. Using templates (in my understanding) does not work either. Any work-around someone has figured out?

 

Maybe a good product suggestion otherwise.

 

Thanks,

Mark

2025 and not an option in the software. (would be pretty handy)

 

Manual work around:  (it worked for me once so far, could break things)

 

1) Create a new blank page in the destination Plan Set with the same name as the page to be copied. 

2) Close the project.

3) In windows explorer copy the .pag file from the folder with the name of the old plan set and paste it into the new plan set folder and overwrite the existing.

4) Re-open the project and you should be good to go. 

 

Warning - I don't know what happens if the old plan set and new one have different page sizes or borders..

 

I tried just copying the .pag file without creating a blank page first but SP refused to see it in the folder.

 

Sorry for Necroing the post but since I found a work-around I figured I'd share incase it helps anyone.

 

-John
