Hi @valentin1 , @mo7ammad11 , There are a couple of things going on here. I’ve opened an issue. https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-65060 – Dale

@stevebaer @dale Hi, I am also facing the above issue, Is there any alternate way to import a Layout in headless mode. Please update since its blocking in developing a plugin in rhino 7.

This would be a nice feature. I cannot import or create new layouts either.

Hi @dale Same here, I’m trying to create PageViews in order to prepare tests for the application I’m working on. Any update on the bugfix? Thanks, Gianluca

Hello, @dale any update on this? It does not work for me either. Thanks Ondřej

@janotaondrej91 - No updates; the issue is still open. – Dale
