The whole view of Layout Book

Dalius — Thu, 25 May 2023 22:07:22 GMT

Students are asking - is it possible to see all layouts at one time in AC10 Layout Book? We cannot find such option. As I remember it was possible to see the total layout in old PlotMaker (AC 6.5 version).

Students make 2-4 separate layouts (Master size - B1), which should be exposed like a solid project. So it is difficult to set such layouts without seeing the whole view.

As well it's important to architects preparing project presentation for competitions.

Attached is an example.

If I understood correctly you have a large layout consisting of smaller layouts (lets say by two B1 size).
Maybe you could create a single layout - 2XB1 size- and make your composition on that. When everything is complete create 2 copies of this layout (B1 size both) and print each half separately (you will have to move the contents).

Yes, multipage layouts were eliminated iwith the introduction of AC10. You'll have to make an oversize layout like Petros said.

It is possible to open multiple layouts in new windows at the same time, but that's not the best result for you.
