I have a series of drawings that show 6 sections across an architectural background. This was managed by the architect by simply adding a layout tab for each section. Each drawing can have as many as six layout tabs.
Each tab has a title block with different attributes. I'd like cause an update across all tabls of a series of drawings.
Also, I need to add a new block to each title block.
Is there a way for me to pick up the tabs across a series of drawings?
Thx,
GeeDee

Hi GregD,

The simple answer is, there is not simple answer!

Basically, you are confined to what AutoCAD has to offer at the command-line.

So, if you use the -LAYOUT command, and get things working at the command line
using that command, (along with others), you will just have to reproduce them in
a script.

There are a couple of ways to "cycle" through the layout tabs.

Here are a couple threads to start you off..

Please let me know how it goes!

Regards,
Bill
