Collect Details And Generate Detail Sheets
This function can be used to generate detail sheets of selected
details. The details in the same class will be included on the same
sheet. If all details in the same class do not fit on the same
sheet, the program will generate another sheet. The number and
location of the details added on the sheet will have been defined
when creating the sheet. The scale of the details on the sheet will
have been defined when creating the detail using the Save a Drawing as a Detail function.
The detail sheets will be saved in the details/sheets folder in
the project folder. If the folder does not exist, the program will
create it automatically. The program will add a sequential number
at the end of the name of the template sheet used, for example
Sheet1.vxp, Sheet2.vxp, etc.
