Pagesetup

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to do a new pagesetup from lisp? Any help will be appreciated.

Are you familiar with ActiveX methods? Start by looking at the following: vla-add vla-get-plotconfigurations vla-get-activedocument vlax-get-acad-object You can find them in the AutoLISP reference and the ActiveX and VBA reference. -- -Jason Member of the Autodesk Discussion Forum Moderator Program "hanksor" wrote in message news:3fe099b3$1_6@statler... > Is there a way to do a new pagesetup from lisp?

;;; AcDbPlaceHolder is a "dataless" object type that's simply meant to
;;;be used in the plotStyleName dictionary in order to have an object
;;;(and therefore an objectId) to associate with a plotStyleName.
;;;
;;; You should be to use (entmakex) to create one and then use (entmod)
;;;on the dictionary you want to add it to in order to let the dictionary
;;;know that it's the new owner.
