CHSPACE in Viewport programmatically?

Anonymous — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:26:20 GMT


Need to get inside the viewport in paperspace and run the command CHSPACE to bring some layers to the modelspace viewport. How to do this programmatically?

The principle is as follows: 

[CommandMethod("ChangeViewports")]
        public static void ChangeViewports()
        {
            Document document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Database database = document.Database;
            Editor editor = document.Editor;

            using (Transaction transaction = database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
            {
                ObjectIdCollection objectIdCollection = database.GetViewports(false);

                foreach (ObjectId id in objectIdCollection)
                {
                    Viewport viewport = transaction.GetObject(id, OpenMode.ForWrite) as Viewport;
                    if (viewport.StandardScale == StandardScaleType.Scale1To1)
                        viewport.Erase();
                    else
                    {
                        //Run this command CHSPACE viewport
                    }
                    
                }
                transaction.Commit();
            }
        }

Thank you!

You can run a command using Document.SendStringToExecute. However I don't really understand the point of your question as same layers exist in both model and paper spaces, I don't see how you're going to use CHSPACE to import a layer from model to paper, this command only applies to entities...

Is this what you are after?

I need the same. I think he means copy objects (not just layers) from MS to PS. My need is to copy a selected closed polyline from MS to PS, suitably scaled to match the VP. [Selecting Model Space entities from Paper Space] just creates a selection set based on the viewport window. Not quite the same. Dale
