Named Layer Filters

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to access a drawing's Named Layer Filters via VBA?

Yes, it's posted in these NG's at least once a day.

Everyday, huh? Not quite RK! If you're going to take the time to post, at least be constructive and give me a link to one of these posts - it would save the both of us time.

Whilst RK's reply was a little sarcastic, this newsgroup does encourage people seeking information to do their own searches first rather than having the answers (ie links) spoon-fed to them.



Just my two cents.

Thanks a bunch Kevin!

I agree, but how can he (or anyone) assume that I didn't already do just that?

[Anonymous]

Spangy,
The only reason anyone could assume it, is because IF you had done a search
(like I just tested) you would've found about 50 messages in this newsgroup
dealing with this subject and in at LEAST one of them was the answer to your
question...... 😉

I could never get that to work here with Netscape (NNTP Error - command not recognized). I'm always forced to "manually" scan the posts to find what I'm after - NOT easy, but I do my best. Perhaps you can give me a suggestion in this regard?

That's what this board is all about right?

Try Google.com. They mirror this ng. Use the
following syntax to narrow the search to this ng.

This will find post with the 3 words anywhere in
the post:

named layer
filter group:autodesk.autocad.customization.vba

This will find post with the 3 words together
in the post:

"named layer
filter" group:autodesk.autocad.customization.vba
