How Can I View Layout Tabs in Autocad?
AutoCAD 2010 is a computer-assisted drawing application that you can use to sketch diagrams and create models with utmost precision. When preparing an AutoCAD drawing for display, you can set up layout features such as title blocks, dimensions and notes. These features are stored in layout tabs, which by default are not visible in your drawing's status bar. Change your AutoCAD settings so that you can see layout tabs on either a per document setting or as a default setting for all AutoCAD documents.
