Hi,
Is there a command to remove multiple layout of the Paper Space, not just selecting one by one?

Thank you in advance!!

Quick Select can select viewports. See the image below. And when you've selected them you can delete them.

Hi,

 

not sure what you asking for, but one paperspace is one layout, one layout is one paperspace.

 

If you want to delete multiple layout, select them by select multiple layouts while hold shift or ctrl.

 

QSelect will select multiple objects in the current space.

Okay, you want to delete layout.

Select multiple by hold down shift or ctrl.

Why not just use WBLOCK to create a new DWG file from all the MODELspace content you wish to keep, then use ADCENTER to drag/drop the one and only layout you wish to keep?

Then just archive this one for 'safe keeping'.

I've found that way if we would delete all unnecessary sheets by one command is much faster.  I've already done it by selecting one by one anyways...

Any reason you don't just hold down the SHIFT key then select first and last tab on your screen to delete all at once?

 

Is this something you have to do many times a day, every day, all week long? May I ask why (what's the purpose, end result)?

Are all the layouts named 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 etc. like in your screenshot above?

Right click on a layout tab and "Select All Layouts" then deselect the one that you want to keep.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply,.

For some reason, it doesn't work. I am able to select only one layout. The command "Select All Layout" also selecting only one.

Thanks again for your help.
