CONVERTLAYOUT command (Experimental)
Converts a layout containing unsupported views into a supported format.
Disclaimer
Incompatible layout conversion is an experimental feature which may not yet be stable, and could be removed in the future. Use the MANAGEEXPERIMENTALFEATURES command to enable or disable experimental features.
The Experimental mode is disabled by default. Enabling or disabling the Experimental mode requires a restart of BricsCAD®.
Description
Creates a new layout based on the specified one and replaces the unsupported views with compatible versions. The original layout maintains its compatibility with other DWG software.
Method
Specify the name of an existing layout to convert.
Note: If the specified layout is already converted or does not require conversion, a message appears in the Command history. You can choose to convert it anyway or not.
If you open a drawing that includes a layout containing incompatible views, a warning dialog opens.
