Modifying layout windows

Module(s): Layout

You can use the Modify Layout Window tool to add documents to a layout window, move elements within a layout window, resize layout windows, edit documents in a layout window and explode layout windows.

What do you want to do?

Add a drawing file or fileset as a layout element

Add NDW layout elements

Move layout window elements

Change the size of a layout window

List, edit layout window elements

Explode layout windows

Notes:

• You can manipulate the entire layout window using the Copy, Move and Rotate tools. Deleting the layout window also deletes the layout element.
• You can modify the corners and edges of a layout window using the Stretch Entities and Fold Line tools.
• When you change the scale of a layout window, all elements of the layout window are displayed so that they are proportional to the center of the MinMax box representing the layout window polygon at the new scale.
  Consequently, the layout elements are no longer displayed at their original position in the layout when you explode the layout window later.
