how do you know if you are in paper space or model
space

Hi Robert

The following sample shows you how get the information:

(if (= (getvar "TILEMODE") 0)
(if (> (getvar "CVPORT") 1)
(alert "Model space activ.")
(alert "Paper space activ.")
)
(alert "Tilemode activ.")
)

Cheers

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think all you have to do is look at that little
MODEL/PAPER button at the bottom of you screen.

Yeah, but I think he wanted to do it programmatically. I don't know how
to get AutoLISP to look at that little button (no eyes).

Sure AutoLISP has eyes... AutoL_I_SP!

Oh, Bob.

Hi Paul

Perhaps a small program for the human brain solve this problem:

(if (= Button "Model")
(Imagine "I'm in model space)
(Imagine "I'm in paper space)
)

I have some large files with multiple viewports in a layout. Somehow in
converting from Rel. 14 all the viewports have ucsfollow set at 1. This
causes all viewports to do a zoom e when I go to MS on any one viewport.

1. Is there any way to prevent this at the conversion time.

2. Is there any global way, or a lisp way to change all the viewports to
have a ucsfollow setting of 0.

Thanks

Wow! That's some BUG you've stumbled upon! R14 doesn't do anything
like that at all! (I guess the philosophical view would be to see that
as an improvement associated with a version upgrade).

Are you sure you don't have these settings already set in r14 DWG?
You may not be aware of it, since r14 doesn't have this BUG.
Go inside MS on the problem viewports -- in r14 -- and check
the UCSFOLLOW setting. Chances are, it's 1 there already.

Since Autolisp is forbidden from entmoding the viewport entity
in any way, short of going ARX the one thing left to try is Automation.
From looking into ObjectModel, there's no UCSFollowOn or such
property for AcadViewport, but there's GetXData and SetXData
methods, which just might work for you with a little bit of luck. 🙂

But first check the original r14 DWGs -- maybe you won't need
to do this in A2K after all.
