cooldraft Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I have huge amount of layouts in my DWG. I would like to have a possibility to organize them. Is there a way to modify AutoCAD to make the creation of layout sub-directories possible? for example: - Model - Element 1: -- Element 1 frame (Layout 1) -- Element 1 sheeting (Layout 2) - Element 2: -- Element 2 frame (Layout 3) -- Element 2 sheeting (Layout 4) -- Element 3 details (Layout 5) etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Not without some programming. If my layouts were getting out of hand, I would consider splitting up the file so that it is more manageable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 These links may help: While pressing CTRL, press Page Up to cycle up (or left) or press Page Down to cycle down (or right) to cycle through the Layout and Model tabs. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Cycling-through-Layout-tabs-using-keyboard-shortcuts.html You can control how you change between the Model tab and one or more named layout tabs. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/AutoCAD-LT/files/GUID-DE4888EE-F07D-40D7-94AB-0AD9A1741153-htm.html I've also added a macro to toggle TILEMODE so I can toggle between the current layout and the Model tab. Not exactly what you asked for, but workarounds many of us are using for your situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 If my layouts were getting out of hand, I would consider splitting up the file so that it is more manageable.I'm with Rob on this one. Sheet Set Manager, or the old XREF Titleblock Sheet File is the way around this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Sheet Set Manager would be the way to go for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 As a bit of a simple answer I take it you know you can move a layout tab so its at least in the correct order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
