Script Switching to next layout

[Anonymous]

Hi dear,

I have more then 100 drawing to update the attribute, i write script to open the drawing to update the attribute
but doesn't update all layout(each drawing have three layout).

My question is:

* How to switching to next layout in the script.

If i press button [Control+Pagedown] bring to next layout but i dont know how to write in the script.


thanks
Siva

(setvar "ctab" "layoutname1") will make the tab with "layoutname1"
current e.g. (setvar "ctab" "Elevations")

OOps no lisp in LT - use the CTAB command and enter a layout name

e.g.
Command: ctab

Enter new value for CTAB <"Model">: layout1
keyboard or a script file>

Possible to do without layout name bec. i have different name each layout and each drawings.

Thanks George

Nope, script files are exact/specific, they emulate what you would type at
the command line as a command/sub-command sequence (not all keyboard
shortcuts work).

HELP explains what keyboard shortcuts you can use in macros (some work in
Script files but not all) at

AutoCAD LT Customization Guide > Customize the User Interface > Create
Macros > Use Special Control Characters in Macros....

If you have access to full AutoCAD you can cycle through layouts without
knowing their names. The lisp fubction (layoutlist) return a list with
the names of the layouts which you can"select" one at a time with say
the (nth)function to make that layout active and then do the relevent
editing
