<Bold><Run Foreground="DodgerBlue">Description</Run></Bold><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🔢 LayoutNum is an AutoCAD and Civil 3D AutoLISP layout renumbering utility with a DCL interface, preview list, Apply, safe multi-level Undo, OK, and Cancel workflow.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">📑 It helps rename selected layout tabs using starting numbers, padding width, prefix, suffix, order modes, filters, and automatic conflict resolution.</Run><LineBreak/>
<LineBreak/>
<Bold><Run Foreground="DodgerBlue">Function Syntax</Run></Bold><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🚀 Main dialog command: </Run><Bold><Run Foreground="Orange">LAYOUTNUM</Run></Bold><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🔁 Alias command: </Run><Bold><Run Foreground="Orange">_LAYOUTNUM</Run></Bold><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🔁 Alias command: </Run><Bold><Run Foreground="Orange">LayoutNum</Run></Bold><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🧰 Load the LSP with APPLOAD and run the command in AutoCAD or Civil 3D.</Run><LineBreak/>
<LineBreak/>
<Bold><Run Foreground="DodgerBlue">SEO Optimized Overview</Run></Bold><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🔢 LayoutNum is an SEO-friendly AutoCAD layout renaming and layout numbering tool for production drawings with many paper-space tabs.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">📑 The routine builds a temporary DCL dialog titled Layout Numbering with wildcard filter, multi-select layout list, preview panel showing Old to New names, Select All, Select None, Apply, Undo, OK, and Cancel.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🧮 Users define the starting number, numeric width, prefix, suffix, and order mode to generate consistent layout names for Civil 3D sheets and AutoCAD plotting tabs.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🧠 The tool supports tab-order or alphabetical processing, optional inclusion of Model for reference, automatic conflict resolution using -1, -2 style suffixes, and persistent defaults for repeated runs.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🛡️ The code intentionally avoids calling AutoCAD UNDO from DCL callbacks and instead uses a manual multi-level undo stack that restores previous layout names safely.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">📌 This is useful for batch layout renaming, sheet numbering, drawing package cleanup, plan set standardization, plotting tab organization, and Civil 3D production-sheet management.</Run><LineBreak/>
<LineBreak/>
<Bold><Run Foreground="LimeGreen">Primary Workflow</Run></Bold><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">1️⃣ Load LayoutNum into AutoCAD or Civil 3D with APPLOAD.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">2️⃣ Run LAYOUTNUM from the command line.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">3️⃣ Use the dialog or command prompts to select the target layouts, layers, viewports, or plot settings.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">4️⃣ Review the preview, status list, or command-line feedback before applying changes.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">5️⃣ Apply the operation and verify the result in the active drawing.</Run><LineBreak/>
<LineBreak/>
<Bold><Run Foreground="DodgerBlue">Main Functionalities</Run></Bold><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">✅ Rename selected layout tabs in batch.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">✅ Filter layout names with wildcard patterns using * and ?.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">✅ Preview every planned rename as Old to New before applying changes.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">✅ Generate names from prefix, starting number, zero-padding width, and suffix.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">✅ Process selected layouts by tab order or alphabetical order.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">✅ Select all filtered layouts or clear the selection quickly.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">✅ Auto-resolve naming conflicts when enabled.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">✅ Apply renames while keeping the dialog open.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">✅ Use a safe manual multi-level undo stack instead of command-line UNDO from DCL callbacks.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">✅ Remember previous dialog values for faster repeated numbering sessions.</Run><LineBreak/>
<LineBreak/>
<Bold><Run Foreground="DodgerBlue">Important Commands and Helper Functions</Run></Bold><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🧩 LayoutNum:WriteDCL dynamically creates the Layout Numbering dialog.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🧩 LayoutNum:LayoutsTabOrder collects layout objects in tab order with optional Model inclusion.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🧩 LayoutNum:SortByName sorts layout rows alphabetically when Alpha order is selected.</Run><LineBreak/>

<Run Foreground="White">🧩 LayoutNum:ComputeRenamePlan builds the Old to New preview plan from selected layouts.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🧩 LayoutNum:ResolveConflict creates an alternate name when Auto-resolve is enabled.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🧩 LayoutNum:ValidateBeforeRename prevents Model renaming, duplicate names, invalid numbers, and name conflicts.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🧩 LayoutNum:ApplyRename performs the layout renaming through vla-put-Name and records undo frames.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🧩 LayoutNum:DoUndo restores renamed layouts from the manual undo stack.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🧩 LayoutNum:Cleanup unloads the temporary dialog and deletes the DCL file.</Run><LineBreak/>
<LineBreak/>
<Bold><Run Foreground="LimeGreen">Practical Result</Run></Bold><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">🎯 The result is a controlled, preview-based layout renaming workflow for AutoCAD and Civil 3D drawings.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">📑 Users can standardize sheet names, add project prefixes, apply numbered sequences, and repair layout naming order without manual tab-by-tab edits.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">✅ LayoutNum improves CAD sheet organization, plotting consistency, and production drawing management.</Run><LineBreak/>
<LineBreak/>
<Bold><Run Foreground="DarkRed">Important Notes</Run></Bold><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">⚠️ The tool changes real layout tab names in the active drawing.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">⚠️ Model can be displayed for reference but cannot be renamed.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">⚠️ Without Auto-resolve, duplicate generated names or existing-name conflicts block the operation.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">⚠️ Testing on a backup drawing is recommended before renaming large drawing packages.</Run><LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="White">⚠️ Layout name rules are still governed by AutoCAD; invalid names may be rejected by vla-put-Name.</Run><LineBreak/>
