Michael,
AutoCAD is object based therefore doesn't have a database per say. Use the
code below to create a layer and change linetype info from the current
drawing. If you want to select layers, use the item method for the object.
Since VBA for AutoCAD is object based you must have an object to modify it.
Try setting a Layer to a variable bu make sure the variable is defined as
AcadLayer or you will get a Type Mismatch error.
'--- Update Layer1 to Hidden2 LineType.
Dim Layer1 As AcadLayer
Dim LType As AcadLineType
Dim TypeName As String
TypeName = "HIDDEN2"
'--- Load the LineType and set it Active.
On Error Resume Next
ThisDrawing.Linetypes.Load TypeName, "acad.lin"
ThisDrawing.ActiveLinetype = LType
On Error GoTo 0
'--- Add Layer and set LineType to "HIDDEN2".
Set Layer1 = ThisDrawing.Layers.Add("1")
ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer = Layer1
Layer1.Linetype = "HIDDEN2"
Hope this info helped a little.
