Peter,
That is great. I just have lisp change to a layout name that we have in
nearly all of our drawings, run the _.vplayer command, and switch back to
the model tab. The only problem is when the layout tab that I have chosen
is not in the drawing, then it cancels the function. Since the tab is in
all of the templates by default, someone has to delete it, and if they do,
oh well. This is great. I am really happy to know that I will never have
to see the dashed lines over a door on a plot again. I can now set up the
templates to plot only the correct layers. This is a great step for us.
Thank you very much for the help.
Robert Connor
For anyone who is interested this is the lisp I used. I know that there are
probably better ways to do this, but this is the only command I have ever
written that goes beyond key short cuts for zoom extents.
(command ".ctab" "11x17")
(command "_.vplayer" "F" "*|A-Wall-Abov" "A" "")
(command ".ctab" "Model")
