Are you creating 'dummy sheets' for your consultant's drawings, or importing their PDFs onto your layout sheets so that your drawing index includes their sheets? This can be cumbersome work. Take your architectural Sheet Index and copy/paste. Keep the original table for the sheets under your purview. Select the new one, right click and select Schedule to Text (third from the bottom). This will 'explode' the table into editable text and you can then edit the information to match your consultants sheet index. You can remove and add to it and the boxes will be created. I also change the header to consultant's discipline as Structural, Civil, Landscape, etc. See example below. Hope this helps you with your workflow. Thanks,

Thank you good sir. That did it.

Can CA display the results in Feet-Inches in the dialogue boxes. I don't work in inches and hate converting. If not currently available, can the powers that be at CA make this an option?

I'm not going to bore you with my history of 25+ years of CAD program usage, but will say that Chief by far is the easiest one to use right out of the box (yes, we used to get a box with disks, manuals, certificates, etc., not like today with the ease of 'Download'). I looked into Softplan and compared it to Chief and found that Chief was just a better program. There's a good tutorial on YouTube that goes through an entire project start to finish. It's a little over 1 hour but shows you a ton of the features. I agree with Michael, it's time to jump ship. Good luck.
