Managing Layouts and Sheets
AutoCAD 2008 offers many enhancements that make it easier for you to work with drawing layouts and sheets.
In-place editing enables you to rename a layout by double-clicking on the layout tab and you can drag and drop
layouts to reorder them. Use familiar tools (Ctrl and Shift) to select multiple layouts then and drag them to their
new location. If you press Ctrl as you drag and drop the layouts, AutoCAD will create copies or the layouts
rather than moving them.

If you are using sheet sets, you can easily add a layout from the current drawing to the active sheet set. Right
click over the layout tab and select the new Import Layout as Sheet option from the right click menu or simply
drag and drop the layout tab onto the sheet list. Using either of these methods will display the Import Layouts as
Sheets dialog box listing all the layouts in the drawing, with the specified layout already selected. You can
easily select additional layouts to import without having to access the right-click menu or drag and drop for each
layout.
