JTB Layout Palette Trial
Win32 and 64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
Run command LAYOUTPALETTE or click in the ribbon panel to Show or Hide the Layout Palette. You can quickly browse for layout, add, delete or edit name like working on a spreadsheet.
The Model tab is read-only and always on top.
When open, Layout Palette is in normal mode. Clicking on the layout's name will activate it.
Click Add or Delete command button at the bottom to add a new layout or delete the selected layout.
Move the active layout by using the bold line (the mouse cursor will change) below it and drag it to a new location. Multiple layouts can be moved in the Edit Mode.
Double click, or click the "Edit" button (bottom right corner) and Layout Palette will turn to edit mode. Its background color will change a little bit brighter.
Now you can use arrow keys to move up or down, type in new layout names or type F2 to edit the current one. This is as handy as working in a spreadsheet.
Still, in Edit Mode, you can select multiple layouts and reorder them. Hover the mouse over the thick grey bottom border, then drag-drop them on a target layout. Selected layouts will be moved and placed after that target one.
Right-click and you will have a popup menu of more commands to play with:
- Filter: select filter pattern from the pop-up menu list, or click "Edit Filter" to add a new pattern. To delete a pattern, hover the mouse over it and press the delete key
- Sort: There are 3 sorting options. Sort by tab order is default one, similar to native layout tabs. 2 other options are display layouts in ascending or descending name order. After sorting, click "Save order to Layout tabs" if you want to save it to drawing.
Finally, you can undo changes anytime using the native "U" or "UNDO" Autodesk® AutoCAD® command.
