I am trying to create a .pset from the Sheet Index. I have Print Styles setup but, I am not able to select a paper size. I have a Print Style setup to use ANSI D & one to use ANSI B but, it does not matter which style I select the ANSI B is used. Is it because ANSI B is set as the default paper size in the .pltcfg?
Is there any way to change the paper size after the .pset is developed?
The Sheet Index uses the paper size defined in the sheet model to determine the print paper size. That size is carried over to Print Organizer when you export the sheets in the Sheet Index to Print Organizer.
You want to have the Sheet Model paper size correct to start with as the affects scaling, positioning, etc. of your print. You can change the paper size in Print Organizer.
Your question does bring up some interesting workflow challenges, as it is not uncommon to print sheets on D Size (or larger) for public comment, then print the final plan set on B Size paper. Since you can only have one Sheet Index per WorkSet it might take some creating thinking to work around that.

I agree. In the UK we typically use a A1 as a master sheet but we print them at A3 (A3 is 50% of and A1). Using Sheet indexing we cannot do this in a simple manner. if you manually setup the PSET you get the option to change the sheet print size
Thanks so much for this post Ian! I've been trying to get the stupid sheet index to print organizer method to work and am at the point of just picking up my computer and throwing it out the window. Nothing like knowing that you can do 100% of everything more efficiently with the old software. They make one change that seems great but is causes four new problems. I used to love Bentley products. Now, not so much.
