Type the number of vertical A4 sheets. If necessary, use a decimal point, for example 1.5.
Select a title for the drawing sheet.
Select the location of the sheet in the drawing window. Click any point in the drawing window with the cursor.

Select the folder ../custom/detbook/sheets/. If the directory in question does not contain a Sheets folder, you can create a new directory as follows:
1. Click the Create New Folder button in the Windows Save As dialog box.
2. Rename the folder as: Sheets.
Type the name of the drawing file in the File name field.
Click the Save button.

A so-called reference detail is added to the sheet, determining the location of the collected detail drawings on the template sheet.

Select the location of the detail on the drawing sheet. Position the detail to the point in which you want the lower left corner of the detail to be located in the final detail sheet.
Select the next position of the reference detail as above. Add a reference detail to those positions to which you want to collect a detail in the final detail sheet.
End adding details by pressing the Esc key.
Select File > Save.
Close the drawing window.
