How do you create a sheet index?

I was given a project that already has its sheet files created, but I need to update the contract border cell. I want to create a sheet index in order to better organize the files and to avoid typing the project number, description and town over and over again. Is there a way to magically create a sheet index? The attached photo shows what I see when I open the sheet index dialog in the explorer. I expected there to be some sort of "create sheet index" option, but there isn't. Help!

  • Scott, the Sheet Index is stored in the DGNWS file that matches the WorkSet name. It should be created when a WorkSet is created, and if the DGNWS is deleted the software will automatically recreate it when opening a file for a given WorkSet.

    Not sure why yours appears to be missing. I would start troubleshooting by confirming that the _USTN_WORKSET* variables are set as expected, and pointing to a location where a DGNWS exists.
