Using Layout Tabs

In this section, we will discover new options for controlling the appearance of the Layout Tabs. Are you using all the features of your Layout Tabs? Using these features can save you considerable clicks.

Dock above Status Bar

Use the DOCK ABOVE STATUS BAR option to separate the Layout Tabs from the Status Bar. If your project files contain multiple layouts and you need more space to display them all, separate the Layout Tabs from the Status Bar.

Dock Inline with Status Bar

To save screen space and have both the Layout Tabs and Status Bar share the same screen space, use DOCK INLINE WITH STATUS BAR:

1. Open the 1-12_Using Layout Tabs.dwg file.
2. Right-click on any Layout Tab, and select Dock above Status Bar.
