Layout Setup lisp

As an example, In my model space there are 9 Nos of rectangles representing my Individual page data. can a lisp make 9nos (equal the value of my rectangles) copies the available layout (I have named "1" in the attached file ) and making the viewports with reference to 9 rectangles in layer VP-SET at the model.

 

Step by step;

1.Count number of rectangles from model space ( from VP-SET layer)

2. Make copies of available layout (layout-1) equal to number of rectangles (here it is 9) 

3. Rename the layout as numbers (here 1-9)

4. open layout 1 > switch to Model space > find No 1 and its rectangle from VP-SET layer

5. zoom - object- select the respective rectangle no.

6. switch to layout no 2 - repeat.

BEFORE AND AFTER DWG Files attached for more clear understanding.

Yes can be done, need to get all the rectangs, get the sheet number and sort a list based on that. Ok are the layouts a FIT or true scale as the layout "1" the scale looked odd I work metric also so not sure what is going on

 

It looks like you have drawn it all to some weird scale, which is not helping why wouldn't the drawing reflect true size, for me text would be say 2.5mm high in a metric dwg but your text is all over the place. I have auto layouts, so asking a few questions to try and help. 

 

There is another post maybe by you that has asked to window a few objects and make a layout to suit, for me that would mean setting the title block to be used, now more questions your title block is labelled as a A1 and appears to be at 1:1 which is good 741mm, given drafting practice all 9 views would fit on a A1 sheet with readability not a problem. The text being around 2.5mm high. If you want 9 sheets then a A4 would be about right size for std details, something I know about publishing to any engineers requiring our standard dwg's online.

 

You need to confirm your title block size or sizes then can work something out.
