Layout text boxes - Linking/Connecting

I dug around and couldn’t find a definitive answer. Is it possible to link/connect textboxes so text flows from one to another? Would be nice but can understand the desire for Layout to not become a word processing/publishing application :wink:

Frankly I wish it had more similarities to a DTP software… when you produce 60 pages of
intricately linked documentation you need those capabilities.

Agreed. I was trying to be somewhat diplomatic in the way I framed that;)

Not looking for something on the level of InDesign, but basic MS Word or Apple Pages text editing would be extremely helpful.

Even similar to Powerpoint would be a blessing - Hyperlinks attached to objects / text and columns capability in text boxes

Unfortunately, no. These features do not exist in LayOut … yet. Fingers crossed! Last month I inquired about column which would be super helpful for specs. The current text editor feels quirky but it is effective once you get used to it. I would love to see columns and/or textbox linking in future versions. To be fair, AutoCAD has columns but LayOut has a far better UI.

Thanks for posting the question. I’m looking forward to future updates!
