Missing arrows option to navigate to other Layout tabs

WJon01 — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 16:22:50 GMT

Hi All,

This is a minor issue but annoying.

This drawing I am working on has 20 Layouts. The arrows pointing down which you use to switch between layouts is missing? How do I get it back?

This is the case for all files I open and this is my preferred method of navigating the various layouts.

I am using full AutoCAD 2024.

Kind regards

You DON'T!

Please report this HERE to let them know they should finish the job.

Unfortunately, the same thing happens when it comes to filetabs.

@ВeekeeCZ @WJon01 That changed in the program, it is now here (see below) and you cannot put it back to the old style in the program

@pendean you're missing the point. As much as I don't like that now it's unnaturally on the left, the main issue is about missing a visual indicator that there are more tabs than it shows.

Then you need to tell Autodesk abut it where they look for feedback from users like us, here

Not in these forums.

Sure, I did a long time ago. Also encouraged the OP to do so as well.

I feel your pain. It is un-natural to start going to the left instead of the right.

Also have an 2018 session so it is the other way round.

Thank you for confirming though.

Once? a long time ago? If you feel truly passionate about it that needs to happen often and regularly in addition to you encouraging others (with obvious links vs. hyperlinks in these display-lousy forum text defaults, like I did responding to you) to do the same (be seriously obvious, not 'techy' LOL).

I appreciate every one taking the time on this topic. We worked out it wasn't just me going MAD.

Thank you all and Happy Halloween 👐

there is a massive sign up process to leave feedback. I just want my arrows back! The new system is so much clunkier to navigate!
