List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Enter layout option [Copy/Delete/New/Template/Rename/SAveas/Set/?] <set>:
NOTE Many of these options are available by right-clicking a layout tab name.
Copy Copies a layout. If you do not provide a name, the new layout assumes
the name of the copied layout with an incremental number in parentheses.
The new tab is inserted before the copied layout tab.
Delete Deletes a layout. The most current layout is the default.
The Model tab cannot be deleted. To remove all the geometry from the Model
tab, you must select all geometry and use the ERASE command.
New Creates a new layout tab. Up to 255 layouts can be created in a single
drawing.
Layout names must be unique. Layout names can be up to 255 characters long
and are not case sensitive. Only the first 31 characters are displayed on the
tab.
Template Creates a new layout tab based on an existing layout in a template
(DWT), drawing (DWG), or drawing interchange (DXF) file. If the FILEDIA
system variable is set to 1, a
standard file selection dialog box is displayed for
selecting a DWT, DWG, or DXF file. After you select a file, the Insert Layouts
dialog box is displayed, which lists the layouts saved in the selected file. After
you select a layout, the layout and all objects from the specified template or
drawing file are inserted into the current drawing.
Rename Renames a layout. The last current layout is used as the default for
the layout to rename.
Layout names must be unique. Layout names can be up to 255 characters long
and are not case sensitive.
Saveas Saves a layout as a drawing template(DWT) file without saving any
unreferenced symbol table and block definition information. You can then
use the template to create new layouts in your drawings without having to
eliminate unnecessary information. See “Reuse Layouts and Layout Settings”
in the User's Guide.
