Macro to move a viewport

[ArthurADas]

Hi,

Im looking for a code in C# or VB.NET that moves my viewport to a specific position in my sheet view.

Ive never programmed something in my life, so i started looking through the Autodesk materials. Well, that's a lot that i need to learn in order to understand what is what and finally start to write some codes. Since i'm kinda desperate right now and running out of time, i was hoping to get some help around here. 

What i have is: A sheet with only one viewport and a few spreadsheets. Since im working with scales, my viewport tends to move to a different position everytime i change the scale. With this Macro i could, somehow, move it always to the same place that it was before changing the scale.

I am having a nightmare situation with sheets and views myself, thanks to differing view sizes.

However, assuming you are using the same title block, something like this:

newSheetViewPort.SetBoxCenter(templateSheetViewPort.GetBoxCenter())

Should get you fairly close.

Thanks,

Matt
