When making Master Layouts you may have the need for a Master Layout that is an exact copy of one you've already made. Perhaps you want to set up different spacing options: one for holding your plans, another set up to auto-arrange details in a 3x5 grid, another to auto arrange interior elevations with preset spacings. Sure you could create a new blank Master Layout & copy and paste the title block info into it, but there is a quicker way - thought it is well hidden. If you select the Master Layout in the Navigator, you'll find right-click to Copy/Paste isn't available, and you can't use Copy/Paste in the Edit Menu either.

The solution???

1. Select the Master Layout to duplicate in the Navigator.
   
2. Hold down the Alt Key (Windows) or Option Key (Mac) while dragging the selected layout in the Navigator. The layout will be dragged and you should see a "+" sign near your cursor telling you that you've dragged a copy. The new layout will have all of the title block information as well as the settings from the original. and will be called  "Your Layout Name (1)".
   
3. Rename this newly created Master Layout and you are good to go.

Happy duplicating!
