You can change the order of layouts in AutoCAD by selecting the layout tabs you want to reposition and using the "Up," "Down," "Top," or "Bottom" options.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Select Layout Tabs: You can select multiple layout tabs at once by holding down the Ctrl key (for individual selections) or the Shift key (for a continuous range of layouts) while clicking on the layout tabs at the bottom of the AutoCAD interface.
-
Access Layout Tab Options: Right-click on any of the selected layout tabs. A context menu will appear.
-
Choose Reorder Option: Within the context menu, you should find options to move the selected layouts. These are often represented as:
- Move Right: Moves the selected layout(s) one position to the right.
- Move Left: Moves the selected layout(s) one position to the left.
- Move to End: Moves the selected layout(s) to the far right (end).
- Move to Start: Moves the selected layout(s) to the far left (beginning).
-
Alternatively (and less common, but potentially available depending on AutoCAD version/customization): Some AutoCAD versions or customized workspaces might present these reordering options in a different dialog box. If right-clicking doesn't show the direct "Move" options, look for a "Layout" or "Page Setup Manager" option in the right-click menu, which may then lead to a dialog where you can reorder tabs using "Up," "Down," "Top," and "Bottom" buttons as initially referenced. However, the direct right-click reordering is the more common and direct method.
-
Confirm Order: After using the "Move" options, the layout tabs should be in the desired order.
Example:
Let's say you have layout tabs named "Layout1," "Layout2," "Layout3," and you want to put "Layout3" before "Layout2." You would:
- Click on the "Layout3" tab.
- Right-click on the "Layout3" tab.
- Select "Move Left".
Now the order should be "Layout1," "Layout3," "Layout2".
