how create a new layer-group

Hallo,
how can I create with VBA a new layer-group?
A Layer is easy: ThisDrawing.Layers.Add("AM_cls"). But a new layer-group?

Thanks

In AutoCAD or in Mechanical 2000 PP we have a
Basic-Layergroup: AM_0, AM_1, ...

We can create an new layergroup (command: amlay).
For example: engine.

So have the new layers: engine-AM_0,
engine-AM_1,...

That sounds like a custom routine if you are
running it in Bacis AutoCAD if it's a MDT feature then you would have to look at
the methods/properties to it if they are even  exposed in VB(A) Like Joe I
never heard of them(it)

Hi Joe!

> Exactly what is a layer-group?
An internal filtering mechanism that the Mechanical dialog box uses. See
me other post in this area;-)

It's not just in Mechanical.

We use Map (the 2000i version) and the filtering is there as well. I was
under the impression it was part of the 'base' package.

It is in the base package if the user sets it up and uses it. In Mech,
the entire layer dialog has been replaced with one that does the
filtering automatically. The average user has no idea what is
transpiring whenever they create a "new" group.
