When printing layout pages, why does the PDF generated have a name of untitled ? I need my sheets to keep the name of the layout page ? Have I missed something 
Help needed, tia

Hello - so far as I can tell, the layout names are never applied automatically to the pdf output - Mac shows Untitled, admittedly not very helpful and Windows offers the file name, which makes at least some sense. Probably it can be made smarter and more consistent at least, but I do not know if the layout page name should be used automatically - what happens if you print multiple layouts? in that case revert to the file name? That also seems messy to me.

Thanks for clearing up @pascal, as an end user bashing out sheet layouts this doesn’t make sense 🤷. A simple check box to use (or not use) the layout sheet name would be a solution. Try banging out 50 sheet pages everyday and then having to rename or copy paste the layout name into the PDF output process 
One of my goals for v8 is to add the ability to export a pdf per selected layout. Hopefully that will relieve even more of the pain.

its a must, this will save time, and the need to have new hands/wrists/fingers rebuilt by the time I retire

Hi Pascal,
How is this feature coming along ? Or is nothing happening about it ?
Thanks,
Andrew
To be honest… Autocad can get the PDF file name to be a mixture of the file name and tab name together. This would be even more useful if Rhino could do the same…
Is this WIP? Or has it been forgotten?

We just need the Layout name, not the file name. I really was hoping this would be enabled in V8

We need layout name to be used as file name on print. How do we achieve this with current settings? Name the layout a number and add prefix?

Hi @sheridan ,
Using Rhino 8 and a current service release the only thing you need to do when saving Rhino PDF layouts as separate files using the layout name as the file name is to check the “Add page name to file name” check box and uncheck the other two options.

its good to see this implemented, was so needed 
. One thing, its quite misleading ‘Add page name to file name’.
Maybe consider-‘Layout page name only’
That would mean the checkbox disables all other options and that was not the intent since workflows and requirements vary. The file name preview below is WYSIWYG when working with those options.
we don’t need the file name, only the layout page name, I understand what the intent is, I was asking for it for years. Its good it nows works as it should. Its still misleading.
The other requirement to match other DWG export automations is an ability to export each Layout as a DWG/
Could this be a feature in this print process?
