Creating filesets

Open on a project-specific basis

A fileset is a convenient way of grouping together a series of drawing files. You might, for instance, assign all the drawing files containing design data for the first floor to the same fileset and call it First Floor. This way, whenever you want to view or edit the data for the first floor, you only have to open the First Floor fileset.

To create new filesets

1. Click Open on a project-specific basis (How).
