Virtuso Layout "save as"...

[Peter Croce]

When I do a Design -> Save as, is there a way to get the editor to then
switch to the new layout that I have saved as? For example, if I am
working on a layout called "ralph" and I save it as "kramden", I now
want the layout to be kramden that I continue editing, not ralph.

Sounds like Microsoft products ...

It's easy to write some couple of Skill lines doing this.
I can send you something doing this if you want.

Below is a couple of Skill lines doing this. It works only
with layout views, but certainly may be adapted to work
for every views and viewTypes.

Hope that this helps.
