Layout Tabs NEED multiple rows

[johnw]

I don't know where to post this idea, but I think AutoCAD should show the layout tabs in multiple rows once the amount of tabs extends beyond the normal screen area. This would be so much better. I pasted layout images to create multiple rows so you can visually see my idea. If this idea should go somewhere else, please feel free to move. Thanks.

This is one way around GOTO as name implies.

; GOTO layout just like other goto a page
; By Alan H 2013
; menu command [GOTO]^c^C^p(load "goto")
; enter a big number like 99 to jump to last if 100+ layouts then 123 etc
; Model space is 0 zero GOTO 0

(defun C:goto ( / x alllayouts laynum num)
 (if (not AH:getvalsm)(load "Multi Getvals.lsp"))
(setq num (atoi (nth 0  (AH:getvalsm (list "Go To A Layout" "Enter layout number" 5 4 "1")))))
(setq alllayouts (vla-get-Layouts (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))))
(SETQ LAYNUM 0)
(vlax-for x alllayouts
(Setq laynum (+ 1 laynum))
) ;total number of layouts
(if (> num laynum)
(setq num (- laynum 1))
)
(vlax-for lay alllayouts
(if (= num (vla-get-taborder lay))
(setvar "ctab" (vla-get-name lay))
)
)
)

; I often type it wrong so added this one also
(defun C:goot ()
(c:goto)
) ; defun

I doubt that is possible, but it looks a good idea anyway.

In the meantime, start getting into using SSM to better manage your projects sheets, it's the better approach IMHO over your cluttered request.
