I am working with a large file for a construction project and am looking to archive my layout tabs after producing each phase of deliverables (output).
Is there a way to do this? I do not want to have to "screenshot" my .dwg and save it with the layouts and then delete and keep working in my working file. I'd like to keep everything in one file.
issues switching layout tabs by clicking on the tabs?
Occasionally, clicking the Model or other layout tab results in no action, as if I'm not clicking on it.
All other controls (within and external to C3D) function normally so it's not a mouse hardware issue.
It will usually correct itself if I "restore down" the main application window, then maximize it again.
The -layout command is a workaround too.
When I'm scrolling through my Layout tabs using the arrows on the bottom left of the screen, if I'm scrolling right I have to click the arrow at a certain speed or it gets hung up on one tab and won't scroll any further. If I'm scrolling left, it only lets me scroll as far as the active tab and then it fades both the "left" and "skip to end left" arrows and won't let me scroll at all. And both directions, unless I'm clicking very slowly on the arrows, instead of scrolling it highlights the name of the tab as though I've clicked "Rename".

View 7 Replies View RelatedRight-click on a layout tab, select Rename ... nothing.
It looks like it highlights the tab for a nanosecond then crosshairs appear with an empty command line.
I eventually renamed one tab by selecting rename like fifty-eleven times.
For some reason our layout tabs keep re-arranging themselves. All of a sudden our sheet 2 ( or what ever) is between tabs for sheets 35 & 36 (or where ever it wants to be).
we use tabs because 45 sheets of images require never ending scrolling. the current tab is never the image shown....they always start at the 1st tab?
when you are on sheet 40 and want to go to 44.....scroll .
I am using 2013 and it wont let me rename the layouts . I have just 10 layouts and it will let me rename one but not the others. The others just flash the little blue color and back to black.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on a large drawing that has many tabs (145), I have made a mistake midway and would like to find a way I can rename them quicker than "Right Clicking" on each tab to change it. That will be very time consuming.
Also, is there a way to print a list of all of the current layouts within a drawing.
I would like to be able to consolidate my layout tabs. I have a drawing of a factory that is of some size and the plant is continually growing. I like having all of my information in one place as the drawings (one .dwg file) change. AutoCAD is not capable of doing so? I'm not willing to break up into separate dwg files either.

Reading the external drawing is not a problem when the objects are in "*Modelspace".
But finding the specific layout id and throwing that in an Blocktabelrecord is.
Here is the code.

Dim strLaagNaam = "FURNITURE"

My layout tabs are missing. How do you get them back?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have this drawing with over 200 layout tabs. (I do shop drawings for a cabinet/countertop manufacturer, and we do one drawing per project.) Here's the thing... I need to eliminate pages 1, 6, 14, 20, 24, 30, 40, 44, 47, 56, 61, 64, 73, 78, 81, 90, 95, and 101 because they are now NOT a part of the project.
In my title block, I have the layout name as a field, so it says "PG [layout tab name]/224" which is needed because there's a table of contents for the pages that are printed.
Is there any easy eay to renumber all the tabs, or am I stuck re-numbering every single one?

Can we plot in AutoCad 2005 All Layout Tabs.
I know we can do it in AutoCad 2004.
I am looking for tools be it tips and tricks or lisp that can make the most of layout tabs especially when I have many layout tabs in my dwg.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it at all possible to switch between layout tabs by a command? I'm messing around with a .bat file that creates a script for printing that only prints layout1.
The CAD file I'm trying to print has multiple tabs and all tabs have a different name, Lot 02, Lot 03, Lot 04 (not the standard layout1, layout2, etc).
My husband is having an issue where his layout tabs have disappeared yet he has them turned on in the Options menu. He has closed and opened his drawing, restarted his PC and still no tabs. They should be there yet they are not there. All of my searches have returned the standard answer of turning them on through the options menu but this is not fixing it. Only thing I can think of is to roll his PC back through a restore...
View 9 Replies View RelatedOnce you have multiple layout tabs its very easy to zoom in on a tab make some changes jump to another tab zoom in make some more changes, then save the dwg.
You then open the drawing to say plot and have to zoom e the layout as a glance to see if its correct, etc.
So I wrote this tiny lisp that will very quickly zoom extents on all layout tabs and then I would normally save.

I clicked "Hide Model and Layout Tabs" to see what it would do, and now I can't get them back. Not only did I lose them in that drawing, I lost the tabs in EVERY drawing and EVERY version of C3D. I googled the problem and every forum says the same things, and I've tried them without success:
Options >> Display >> Layout elements >> Display Layout and Model Tabs
CUI >> Workspace Properties >> Model/Layout Tabs >> On
I'm lacking a couple of icons on the lower tray to the right of the Model/Paper button.
The baffling thing is that I've lost the tabs on ALL versions of C3D. Is there a magical command line entry that will bring back my beloved tabs?

Restore my Model and Layout Tabs at the bottom of the Drawing area. I went to Options/Display Tab, and under the pannel of "Layouts elements" the box of "Display Layout and Model Tabs" is checked, yet, I can't witness this diplayed. Even if I have to toggle something to make it hidden and displayed, where is the place for that? See the pictures of my settings and the Drawing area.

What I know about the drawing:
-using AUDIT reveals no errors in drawing.
-Main drawing = 840 KB
-5 Xrefs total
-each Xref less than 1 MB each
-15 Layout tabs total in main drawing
-LAYOUTREGENCTL set to 0, 1 or 2 has no change on situation
Pertaining to the title. I somehow did something which has caused my model/layout tabs to disappear! How do do I get them back?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I create drawings, I generally have quite a few layout tabs. Also, thse tabs are numbered 1 through to N. On many occasions, a revision or addition may be necessary and it may have to be inserted in between two existing tabs. Doing so is not a problem, however, keeping the numbering sequence in order without having to rename every tab in that file is a problem.

I am working on a set of drawings that include attributes that are numerically sheet specific (page numbers and the like)
I saw a previous post that allows tabs to display block info, but is there a way to get blocks to refer to tab info?
Essentially, I am trying to label match lines from page to page. Being able to have these labels refer to the numeric value of the layout tab, tab previous, and/or tab after would be extremely useful and time saving.
Any lisp file that can plot all of the layout tabs? I am looking for one that will plot to a plt file and also pdf?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have an intern that has somehow made it impossible for her to edit inside viewports(switching to model space) on her layouts. None of us has seen this before and do not know how to reverse what she has done. This happens with any drawing she opens. She can edit when in the model space tab, but when she goes to one of the layout tabs and double clicks on the viewport she cannot edit. The viewports are not locked.
We have had several people look at it and cannot find what command or setting she changed. She does not have admin rights so I do not think she could have run a script. She is not familiar with AutoCAD Architecture, her experience has been limited to Revit.
Had an electrical storm and there was a power surge the moment I was saving my completed drawing. Yes, it was perfect timing and yes, I have a power backup. Now titleblock is shown in model space and completed drawings are only shown when scrolling over layout tabs. When I click on the layout tabs only the titleblock shows up. Is there anyway of retrieving the drawings to send back to model space or get them to appear in the layout tabs when shown on the full screen? Are those layout tabs just showing what the drawings used to look like and there is no way of getting to them back?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhy autocad always starts up with 2 layout tabs available on the drawing. In the template that I have created only one layout tab is available and if I create a new drawing according to that template after startup, only one layout tab is available. The template that I have created is set as the basic template for autocad, so it starts up using this template.
Now I want autocad to startup with only one layout tab available.
LISP routine that can create multiple paper space layout tabs and can name them incrementally.
