Copy contents of tab, lisp

[idragonb]

Hello all,

I am programming in lisp and I have copied a tab from a template file into the current file - I used

(vlax-get-property layout 'Name)                              ; from template

(vlax-invoke-method layouts 'Add layname)              ; to current drawing

(vlax-invoke-method nlayout 'CopyFrom layout)        ; copies properties (I think)

and now I would like to copy the border and any other objects in that tab but I'm stumped.....

The items are in the 'Block property of the layout but a simple put-property does not work - what am I missing?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Michael

"...and now I would like to copy the border and any other objects in that tab..."

Ignoring the fact that this question would probably be better posted elsewhere (as previously "suggested"), it seems to me that if you copy a tab from a template file into the current file, you get everything that's in/on that tab.  So, if the border and other objects you're interested in are already in/on the tab, there's nothing more to do.
