automate the view ports
Are you talking about automating the Insert View command that is built-in to AutoCAD or are you unaware of the ability of AutoCAD to insert named views in the Layout? Create named views in MS, in PS under the Layout tab you can Insert Views, pick a name and it will insert the view at the scale it was created at in MS. You can, of course, adjust the scale at that point since it is just a regular viewport.

If something I wrote can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, I meant the other one.
Which one? [The person you Replied to did not post any routine.]
And "won't work" is never enough information. Does it fail to load? Does it load but not recognize the command name? Does it recognize the command name but not do anything at all? Does it do something different from what you expect? Does it do something you expect, but not everything? How far does it get? Are there any messages? Etc., etc., etc.
