    Has anyone made any improvements with the sheet set manager to make it more liveable. Its a version 1.0 product that is
    rough around the edges but there is an API, just wondering if anyone is utilizing the API yet and what have you done?

    any thoughts you can share on your efforts?

    We are finding that the interface is cumbersome for day to day usage.
    Typical of a 1.0 product so it needs some polish.

    I've got quite familiar with the API so I've made some progress to populate
    sheet properties, rename sheets and some other things.

    What specific things are you looking for?

    we are looking for a more efficient way to import a plan set.
    For example there has to be a better way to fill out the sheet number and sheet title.
    It would be nice to fill out everything in excel and populate the sheet set manager
    from that info.
    Importing a new drawing into a planset is a pain in the butt. You have to go through
    import, click click bla bla. The users hate it. Personally I think more drag and drop options
    say to import a sheet and maybe drag the sheet title that is in text on the drawing into the
    sheet manager to populate the sheet title.

    Then there is the matter of setting up a new project. I don't think you can have a template
    project setup and have the sheet set manager filled out.
