Would it be possible to get a layout tab wizard to rename layout tabs. It would work simmilar to the title block update wizard.

the one coloum would have the old tab name and the second column the new tab name. Then it would create the necesary script info.

Example;

Layout
raname
old tab name
new tab name
;-----------

I am having to copy, paste, then edit for all my tabs that needs to be replaced, if there was the wizard I would be able to see all tabs without having to scroll down.

Hi Shadowp68,

That should be easy enough.

How many "tabs" are you wanting to be renamed in one go?
(i.e. Is 10 enough for the wizard? 20?)

Regards,
Bill

Hi ShadowP68,

Download Attachment: hurricane-6.7.2.zip
191.21 KB

The new Wizard is found under the "Wizards"->"Layouts" menu. I've added a few other commands to make things more "complete".

Not sure if I should leave the "TAGS" in place (like Title-Block Wizard), but it gives you the option to use Tags in your Layout names.

I guess I should do the same sort of Wizard for the -LAYERS command.

Please respond to let me know if this is what you had in mind.

Regards,
Bill

I found a vba that does the same thing a few months ago. You select which tabs you want to rename, then you can do a find and replace, prefix, suffix, or copy. it doesnt do everything we want (renumbering feature would be nice) but the find and replace is real handy for us.
I could post it if you want to give that a try.
