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???
- Select the Master Layout to duplicate in the Navigator.
- 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)".
- Rename this newly created Master Layout and you are good to go.
Happy duplicating!
