Turn off file tab sheet list

[rantioTYUY9]

Hi All,

This may have been answered already, but I'm unable to find it in a search.

I always turn off (set to 0) the annoying "FILETABPREVIEW" & "FILETABTHUMBHOVER", which leaves just the sheet list when hovering over a file tab. Is there a way to turn off the sheet list as well?

I frequently have drawings with 20+ layouts. When C3D crams all the sheets in a preview, it will cover the "X" I'm trying to click to close that tab. It gives you less than a second to hit the "X" and close the tab before it's covered behind the sheet list.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

I don't believe there is a way to turn of the list view, as you would not have access to the sheets without it. Also, as a best practice you best not to exceed more that 10 layouts per drawing.

Rick,

Thanks for the quick reply. Really no choice on the number of layouts. Whatever is necessary to fully define the project.

And, accessing any sheet has never been an issue since those are always available in the lower toolbar. The same toolbar with osnap, polar tracking, quick properties...etc.

Thanks again,

Ghost Rider

That's what Sheet Set Manager (SSM) is designed for. You can even have a drawing for every layout with SSM, and it extremely helpful when file size gets to be an issue.

Use "alt", "f", "c" to close the file. That is 3 individual keystrokes. It works best if you set "menubar" to 1.
