Rename a layout tab-quickly?

[Anonymous]

Is there a routine that will allow a person to rename a layout tab simply by
clicking on it? Istead having to right click and rename?

[Anonymous]

Here's one function I use as part of routine to rename current layout,
should give you some ideas of how to adapt to do what you want.

(defun adcxRenameCurrentLayout (adcvNewName)
(vl-load-com)
(vlax-put-property
(vla-item
(vla-get-layouts
(vla-get-activedocument
(vlax-get-acad-object)
)
)
(getvar"CTAB")
)
'Name
adcvNewName
)
)

Here is a similar approach to what Mark posted

(defun RenameCtab (String)
(vl-load-com)
(vlax-put-property
(vla-get-activelayout
(vla-get-activedocument
(vlax-get-acad-object)
)
)
'Name
String
)
(princ)
)

You should account for the model tab though.

Ok I looked at both, They load fine, But I can't seem to figure where in the
code to place a prompt for selection the tab and intiate the Dialog box that
allow you to rename the tab, any help would be appreciated.

That can be done with a reactor only, but I do not see any advantage on
doing this.

I thought the intent here was to make it simple? Using the code provided to
prompt the user then load a dialog box seems much more complicated than just
Right Click-> Rename.

I did try to use the defun line command "RenameCtab" to start the routine,
but it kept coming back with an unknown command error, so I figured perhaps
selection option was yet to be inserted.

What has been posted are functions, not commands. To use a function you
must enclose it in a set of "( )" and provide the required arguments (if
any).

(RenameCtab "YourNewTabName")

you could write a lisp command to call this lisp function, then either enter
the lisp command at command line, put on a tool bar or put in a menu item.
ex:
(defun c:ChangeLayoutName ( )
(adcxRenameCurrentLayout (getstring "\nEnter new name for current layout"))
(princ)
)
note: as pointed out earlier in thread this code has no error checking to
make sure you're currently on a pspace layout tab.
It won't work if you're in model space.
(this was just for an idea of where to start - your requirements may need
various adjustments.)
