How to | Sheet Tabs?

Post by tscraven » Tue May 24, 2022 4:23 pm

I am working with a client who is using AutoCAD.
They have a file that has 6 tabs on it, one with the entire layout, and the other tabs with more detailed layouts.

I am working with QCAD and I can not figure out how to access the other tabs.

Please help me!

I am running QCAD version 3.26.4.5
I am using Windows 10

So all of those tabs are showing drawings that all come from the same single DWG/DXF file?

If that is true, I'm assuming then that each tab in AutoCAD corresponds to a different paper space/layout block. Can you see the block list on your screen? If you don't see it, click on view>Block List. If the tabs are all part of the same file, I would think that would mean you should be able to see a block that corresponds to each tab. Double clicking on a block will switch your view to that particular paper/layout space.
