KellySantaRosa Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Is there a way to rename tabs opened by double clicking layout box windows, to organize one's work space into tabs that clearly show 'electrical,' HVAC,' 'framing,' for example.

HumbleChief Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The tabs here show the Plan File Name:SPV name. Is that what you are looking for? Do you need to clearly name/rename/add additional your SPV's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellySantaRosa Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 My work space usually consists of one tab with my set of layouts, then an additional number of SPV tabs that correspond to the individual layout pages. Is there a way to organize these SPV tabs with custom labels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can give them custom labels by renaming your Saved Plan Views. That's the best we currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several ways come to mind: After you've selected the Saved Plan View in your Project Browser, left click again. After you've selected the Saved Plan View in your Project Browser, right click>Rename After you've selected the Saved Plan View in your Project Browser, right click>Edit View Edit Active View Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Really confusing Kelly. Can't understand the terminology. Set of Layouts? What's that? ...and SPV tabs correspond to plan files not to 'individual layout pages.' I'm not making these distinctions to be difficult but without clear terminology we don't have a chance of helping. Most plan files (SPV's or otherwise) are sent to a single Layout page. When you double click a plan that's been sent to Layout it opens its SPV if one has been created. The name of the SPV is saved within the project browser where it can be 'edited' renamed etc. Sound like there a fundamental misunderstanding about how Chief works in relation to SPVs Layout etc. That's understandable but once you get it it's really powerful and not that difficult.

HumbleChief Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Not that easy to understand but you will find Chief's videos and teaching guides to be second to none and probably a better place to start than here at the forum. Hopefully the vid below adds some clarity but again, not a simple paradigm to understand but certainly doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 So you have a layout page that is titled "Main Floor Plan," and you want a SPV named "Main Floor Plan?" Is this it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
