How to copy objects from one layout to another with VBA

Anonymous — Mon, 24 Aug 2015 11:53:21 GMT

Good evening!

Can anyone help me to understand how to copy objects from one layout (or model space) to and paste to another layout with using selection by window.

I need this in VBA.

Hi,

>> how to copy objects from one layout (or model space) to and paste to another layout

One method (the one I would prefere with VBA) could be to create a block from the source objects, then insert the block in the destination area and at least explode it to have single entities again. Make sure to purge these temporary block-defintiions after that action.

>> using selection by window

Window selection is already shown in the samples of VBA (>>>click<<<)
