Layout editor

You can use the Layout Editor to switch between editing documents and editing layouts.

To switch to layout edit mode

• Select the Layout Editor task on the Actionbar.
  Or
  Click Layout Editor (How).
  

  Activate Layout Editor in one of the following ways

  • Menu bar: File

  • Toolbar: Default

  In the second case, the icon remains pressed in until you close layout editor. Clicking Layout Editor again takes you back to document edit mode.

Tip: You can also switch to layout editor by right-clicking in the workspace and selecting Layout Editor on the shortcut menu.

Note: You have changed but not yet updated model data in views and sections. When you switch to Layout Editor, a dialog box asks whether you want to update the drawing file data. You do not need to update the data if you only want to rearrange the layout elements or if you have accidentally selected the Layout Editor task area. If you have omitted to update the drawing file data, you can do this manually by means of the Update Layout tool. Note that Allplan always updates reinforcement data when you switch to Layout Editor. The same applies to drawing file data when you select the Print Layouts tool.
