\u00a0<\/strong>AutoCAD\u00a0<\/strong>File tabs give you an easy way to access all your open drawings.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Organize them the way you want: File tabs display in the order they were opened, but you can easily drag and drop \"AutoCAD<\/a>them to change the order. If you run out of room, an overflow menu will appear to the right.<\/li>\n
  2. Get a preview image: Pass the cursor over a file tab to display preview images of model space and layouts.\u00a0If you hover your cursor over a preview image, the preview is temporarily enlarged and displayed in the drawing area.\u00a0Here you\u2019ll find you can quickly print and publish without even switching to the drawing!<\/li>\n
  3. Pay attention: A lock icon on a tab indicates read-only. An asterisk indicates the file has been modified since the last save.<\/li>\n
  4. \"AutoCAD<\/a>See more options: Right click on a file tab to reveal additional options such as Save All and Close All Except This Tab (my personal favorite).<\/li>\n
  5. Quickly copy a link to your drawing for an email\u00a0with\u00a0Copy Full File Path.<\/li>\n
  6. Get a friendly directory reminder with Open File Location.<\/li>\n
  7. Kill it if you must: If for some reason you prefer to turn off this cool new tool\u2014you can do so from the File Tabs control on the View tab of the ribbon.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
