# Task Replace Sheet Format

Hi guys,

This week’s blog is about another challenge that is facing John.

His design manager wants John to reuse all the drawing in an old project in their new project. Well this is not a problem. Just wait, but in the old project we were using the old company sheet format not the current one not just this there are about five different sheet format used in this project.

The project manager thought that it is just straight forward process and they should have the drawing out to the customers in no time. He even budget the design, drafting time and cost to ZERO.

All the eyes turned to John who was seating there smiling know that he already have the solution and he can get the job done in every short time.

What how?

Are you thinking what i’m thinking .That is right in  # Task library he found the Replace Sheet Format Task. This task allows the user to find and replace drawings sheet format for all the drawing in one run

So how it works?

• Go to your # Task on line library (if you don’t have it on your desktop it is not too late) please follow this link to download and register # Task

• Add Replace Sheet Format Task to your local tasks list by check the box beside it –> (1)
• Make sure that file type filter is turned to drawing (SLDDRW) –>(2)
• Add the files by either drag and drop or by browsing to the files location(s) –> (3)
• Select the old and new sheet format files (this task uses the find and replace concept)
• Hit the run button and let # Task do the job for you –> (4)

Once again John is not only the design office but the company hero.
