    Default Tab through layout tabs

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hey guys, I know that Alt- Tab shifts through different programs you have open, and Ctrl-Tab shifts through Drawings you have open, is there any kind of command or **-Tab that lets you shift through Layouts quickly?


    thanks!

    when you say 'layouts' do you not have them tabbed across the bottom of your drawing area? or do you mean separate drawing files?

    Read his question, then follow the link I posted, and things should become much clearer.

    Well I've got a horrid cold, but besides that, people have a habit of asking questions when they mean something else, or there is an answer they didn't expect

    There's a chance Wise actually wants the command STATUSBAR (though I'd have to go check I've not got that wrong) which puts all your drawings on separate tabs you can just click

    Actually NBC hit the nail on the head with his link, I am also excited that the ctrl - page up/page down also work for excel!

    Strix the STATUSBAR command does not seem to work, though that sounds like an interesting command as well


    Thanks !
