OpenLayout() opens files created by SaveLayout().
The grid resolution divisor indicates what division of the units is used as the snap grid resolution. For example, 8 would indicate 1/8 of a unit.
The grid intervals specify the number of grid resolution units between each light (minor) or bold (major) display grid tick. For example {"inch", 8, 2, 4} would specify a grid with light ticks every 1/4 inch and a bold tick every 1/2 inch.
If the menu, toolbar, activate macro, or close macro is not specified, OpenLayout() uses the default specified with SetDefaults(). If a layout specific default was not specified with SetDefaults(), then OpenLayout() uses the generic default.
The values for the position of the map window are expressed as percentages of the frame window, where 1.0 is equivalent to 100 percent.
If the printer of the saved layout is not found, the user is prompted whether to use the default printer instead.

A string indicating the name of the layout.

folder = RunMacro("G30 Tutorial Folder")

lyt = OpenLayout(folder + "adjust.lay", {

{"Grid Display", "True"},

{"Grid Snap", "True"}})

Error Type	Meaning
