Placing drawing on layout AC26

[clints]

In being pulled kicking and screaming into AC26, we're running into an issue of placing drawings onto the layouts. The first drawing placement comes in as it normally would. However, any subsequent drawing placement onto the same layout creates an additional layout and dumps the drawing onto that layout. Then, we have to cut that drawing and paste it into the original, intended layout. Lastly, delete the new layout that was created. Not the end of the world, but super annoying. I've tried clicking and redefining some of the options in the Work Environment –>User Preference Schemes –>More Options, but the ones that I would think would fix that, don't. 

Any thoughts?

First I would check the settings of you Master Layouts for the Drawing Placement.

Both options set the rules as to how new drawings are placed on a layout.

I find the grid option is not so good unless you are very structured in how your plans are set out.

And if you don't already,  just open the layout and drag the view/s (yes you can drag multiple) from the Project Map to the layout and then arrange as required.

I prefer this to right clicking on a view and choosing 'Place on layout'.

Awesome! Thank you so much. No clue why that changed between AC25 and 26, but now we're back on track. Thanks again!

Oh, and we didn't know about the dragging and dropping either, so thank you for that as well.
