# How to automate sheet creation?

After creating the **first** **assembly sheet** by dragging and dropping items, you can reuse the layout of this sheet as a **template** and automate other assembly sheets.

1. Click **Create Assembly** and pick a framing element from a chosen frame.&#x20;
2. Go to the new assembly in the project browser. Drag and drop the views onto the sheet:

All assembly views, schedules and sheets will be located under the **Assemblies** in the project browser.
{% endhint %}

3. Go to **Drawing Configuration**, switch to the **Sheets** tab.
4. Under the **Sheet Template** column, choose the sheet from your most recent assembly. Save and close the configuration.
5. Pick a new frame or multiple frames and click **Create Assembly**. Views and schedules in all sheets will be placed automatically according to the very first layout:
