- Hello everyone
Hope all has seen some sun by now, even Sweden has... ;-)
We are working on several Blog posts, me and Jack, that will cover a lot of the new functionality in the 2009 version.
To get something up here during this "working period" I thought of this nice tool to get an overview of all drawings open on you computer.
As all users of AutoCAD knows, there are several tools at the very bottom of the screen, OSnap, Ohrto etc etc. Now we have a few new ones again.
Check this one out;
If you have some drawings open like this (three in this case),

Check the bottom of the screen, to the right side. There is an icon showing a symbol like a "book".

When you click it you will get an fast overview of all drawings currently open, and also their Layouts etc shows above the drawing.
Hoover over the Layouts for the drawing and you will get it magnified - select it by clicking on it - or use the direct "Print" as seen by the icon in the image below. Nice tool.
Promise to be back soon with some more "Civil related" stuff here... ;-)
Cheers / Ove
