1. Make sure that the Sheet List tab of the SSM dialog box is active. Right-click on the Scarborough Project title. A shortcut menu will appear. Select "Import Layouts as Sheet".

2. In the "Import Layouts as Sheet" dialog box, click the ellipsis button. Locate the "scarborough_pr0185_power_plan.dwg" file in the "scarborough_project" folder. Click Open. The only layout of the drawing file appears on the list. Click OK to add the layout as a new sheet to the list of SSM.

The preceding tutorial added a new sheet to the sheet set. You may use this method to add as many sheets as you want to the SSM list. If the drawing file does not contain a proper Paper Space layout you have to open the file and define the layout properly. Save the file and then use the preceding method to add the layout as a sheet to the sheet list.
