Copy Section View

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to copy a section or detail view?

I have tried this code without success.

Call oDrawingView.CopyTo(oTargetIDW.ActiveSheet)

Thanks Malcolm

I'm afraid the CopyTo method won't work in these cases since section, detail
and certain other views require that the base view be copied over as well.

The workaround is to simulate the UI workflow via the API (by driving the
copy/paste commands). Sample below:

Sub CopyViews()

Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

oDoc.SelectSet.Clear

' Select all drawing views
Dim oView As DrawingView
For Each oView In oDoc.ActiveSheet.DrawingViews
oDoc.SelectSet.Select oView
Next

Dim oCopyCmd As ControlDefinition
Set oCopyCmd =
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("AppCopyCmd")

oCopyCmd.Execute

oDoc.SelectSet.Clear

Dim oTargetDoc As DrawingDocument
Set oTargetDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Item(3)

oTargetDoc.Activate

Dim oPasteCmd As ControlDefinition
Set oPasteCmd =
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("AppPasteCmd")

oPasteCmd.Execute

End Sub

Simplest method I have found is to make a "Detail View" of the section and edit the 'detail' in the title to 'section-a'.
I use this method when I want to show only a scrap of the section instead of the full section. What I usually do is to place the section outside the sheet area and detail only the scrap I want to show.

Hope this helps
