    Default Specifying the layer on which the viewport/callout tag are placed when adding a view to a sheet

    Hello gang,

    When I add a view to a sheet, the viewport and the callout tag for that view are placed on whatever layer is current.

    Is there any way to specify which layers these objects wind up on? Ideally we'd like the viewport to go on our standard viewport layer and the tag to go on... wait for it... our standard tags layer.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Bumpitty bump. Anyone?

    I'd love to be able to control this aspect of the process.

    Thanks as always,

    We use Visual LISP Reactors (or now .NET Event Handlers) for this, and other entities... How specifically are creating your Viewports, and Tags?

    We right click on the views in the Model View tab and select "place on sheet". At the moment it places them on the current layer... love to be able to modify that but .NET is out of my grasp I'm afraid.

    Thanks for any advice as always,
