Get the layout name

Bruce
Advisor

How do I get the layout name?  I can't find a request command, or a global variable, or an AC_ variable.

 

I know how to do a TEXT2 0, 0, "<LAYOUTNAME>", but I can't extract this to run a STRSTR command.

 

_layoutName = "<LAYOUTNAME>" doesn't work.

Hi,

 

not a direct solution, but you can use <SUBSETNAME> to get the layout group name, and organize drawings by that.

Thanks Peter.  I was aware of that option - unfortunately won't work in this particular scenario, given how my client arranges their sheets.
