Single Viewport modification

[U.Rackharrow]

Hi, the (attached) macro behind the Single Viewport command is way over my head, has anyone out there got the patience to explain it to me? I would like to modify it so that it saves the 'current layer', creates a viewport and puts it on a 'Viewport' layer (existing) and then restores the 'current layer. If I can get that to work I might do something similar with dimensioning.

Hi David,

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoLISP Forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks,

Look for this bit of code in the macro

^C^C_-vports _si

That bit of code handles the vport command with the single option. After the ^C^C, you could add some code to save the current layer, make or set your viewport layer and then continue with the rest of the code. Then after _si, you could add some code to reset the current layer back to the layer prior to running this code.
