LayoutManager (cadmanagertools)

I have been using this program for years from CadManagerTools. I recently bought another licience and have not heard back from them, I think they went under. I know how to get the money back as I used Paypal. My problem is that I use this program almost every day. Does anyone know of another program similar to this. Exxamples of what it can do arebelow and are based on a diolog box where you select the layout/layouts to apply to:

 

  • Copy objects,viewports,text from one layout to select others
  • Delete objects,viewports,text from one layout to select others
  • Lock all viewports
  • Set Page Setup as current

I have found some lsp routines that do similar actions but effect all layouts instead of a select few.

Copy to Layouts

https://www.lee-mac.com/copytolayouts.html

 

I have also added Remove From Layouts to it. It requires a window selection. Objects must be in the same coordinates.

 

And CAB's VP un/lock functions.. again, with some mods of mine. But pretty sure you can find the original somewhere if you want.

 

Edited: Added newer version of VPCopy2Layouts.

If you break it down into smaller single functions, I am sure code is out there, or can be made pretty quick, that is a very long list of functions. Like others here I have say 4 of the items. Taking zoom extents of layouts as an example, I call that just before saving. For me when I make a layout I lock the viewport but I have auto make layouts, same with copy title block attributes details to all layouts, "Page X of Y" etc. Another not in your list is GOTO which does just that goes to a layout by number. Some plot routines and so on.

 

So I think if you make a much shorter list in order of most wanted, I am sure you will get most of what you want. Zoom extents is in "Z". Second step can be customising a solution provided.

 

A last comment I use pop menus so have all required in one menu.
