Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm fairly new to scripting and lisp routines so i'm initially just trying to get my head around it and think of process' which can be sped up.

I used what you sent me at the command line and it worked ok. however what i want to ultimately end up with is either a lisp routine or script that lets me create approx 4 different reports on a Model tab then exports them to a specifc location with the dwg name in the title.

Don't know how to do this but any help would be appreicated, as i am trauling through various websites at the moment to try and find out info on lisp routines
