Is there any way in AutoCAD I can make a layout filter?

Hello

Is there any way in AutoCAD I can make a layout filter?

I have shop drawings for an architectural project in some file, these shop drawings are divided into two parts, each part contains about 20 layouts, is there any way I can divide them into two parts so I can select them separately when printing?

Best regards

If I understand you correctly you can accomplish this by using the sheet set manager.  Create a sheet set from your layouts and then add subsets to organize your layouts.  Here is an example use of subsets.

 by PUBLISH command you can add your selected layouts to print and of course after prepare a pagesetup for this procedure . >> Click <<

Hello @Waseem_Dabbas 

Did the post by @imadHabash and @R_Tweed helped you and answered your question?

To give you alternative steps:

1. Create an empty drawing which contains all your layouts. You could call it layout library to make the name more speaking

2. Once you need the layouts from the drawing, click with the right mouse click and select "From template"

3. Select the layouts you want to import

4. The selected layouts will be imported in your current drawing.

Transforming this to your scenario - you could have a layout library drawing for each of the 20 layouts and import / delete them when needed.
