By Virupaksha Aithal

You can use LayoutManager class function RenameLayout to rename the layouts. Below code shows simple example showing the renaming of the layout.

[CommandMethod("RenameLayout")]

static public void renamelayoutName()

{

    Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;

    Database db = doc.Database;

    Editor ed = doc.Editor;

 

    //get the Layout name

    PromptStringOptions opts =

       new PromptStringOptions("Enter Layout name to change");

    opts.AllowSpaces = true;

 

    PromptResult layoutName = ed.GetString(opts);

 

    if (layoutName.Status != PromptStatus.OK)

        return;

 

    bool bUpdate = false;

    using (Transaction tr =

                    db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())

    {

        DBDictionary dLayouts = tr.GetObject(db.LayoutDictionaryId,

                          OpenMode.ForRead) as DBDictionary;

 

        if (dLayouts.Contains(layoutName.StringResult))

        {

            bUpdate = true;

        }

 

        tr.Commit();

 

    }

 

    if (bUpdate)

    {

        LayoutManager acLayoutMgr = LayoutManager.Current;

        acLayoutMgr.RenameLayout(layoutName.StringResult,

                    layoutName.StringResult + " - modified");

 

        doc.Editor.Regen();

    }

    else

    {

        ed.WriteMessage("No Layout with name "

                + layoutName.StringResult);

    }

}
