LAYOUT — Layout

Creates, copies, deletes, renames and sets layouts.

• Command: LAYOUT · Global name: _LAYOUT
• Ribbon: View › Layout
• Menu: View

Creates, copies, deletes, renames and sets layouts, like AutoCAD's -LAYOUT. Each layout is stored as in AutoCAD: a LAYOUT object (with its page setup and tab order) and its *Paper_Space… block.

Usage

1. Type LAYOUT.

Enter layout option [Copy/Delete/New/Template/Rename/SAveas/Set/?] <Set>:

Options

• New: new layout with the default page setup and, with LAYOUTCREATEVIEWPORT set to 1, a viewport showing the model extents.
• Copy: copies a layout with its drawing and viewports, placed after it.
• Delete: deletes one or more (comma separated). Deleting all of them creates an empty one.
• Template: inserts layouts from a DWT, DWG or DXF (* for all).
• Rename, SAveas (to a .dwt template), Set (make it current) and ?.

Notes

• The layout tab context menu does the same; drag the tabs to reorder, double-click to rename, + for a new one.
