    Default Import viewport from specific dwg

    I need an easy way to create thousands of drawings.
    It would be easy if I could just run a lisp to import a selected viewport from a specific dwg file.
    I'm not very good at writing lisp, can this be done?

    Ideally, the user could just key-in "importa" or "importb", etc... I have area's A thru U and 7 floors. I have one file setup with all the viewports created in tabs (some are rotated via MVSETUP).
    I can't just use that drawing as a template because layerkeys, viewreps, systems and loaded content are different depending on the discipline.

    Thanks

    P.S.
    Being able to also import the page setup from that file would save everyone even more work.

    We have a routine for doing this, it is in compiled ARX though. What it does is take the vital statistics of a viewport you select, writes that to a little data file, then you can use the same programme to import the data to create new viewports.

    I figured it out, just doing it all with scripts
