Hi @AB_CAD 

Try publishing instead of plot. Select a minimum of two layouts by holding the shift key and then right-click on the layout and select "publish selected layout". Now remove the layout which you don't need by clicking on "remove sheet" and then publish 🙂

@AB_CAD There is nothing automatic to do what you want in the program. Either start using SSM and rename the tabs, or use PUBLISH to rename the output files and save lists, or customize with LISP then abandon all the core commands that do not do what you want.

How would you like to proceed? There are no other options really, you have to opt into another solution.
