switching tabs in macros

Is there a way to change from the model tab to the layout tab within a macro? At my new place of employment, they like to have dwgs saved so that the preview shows layout 1 at zoom extents.

I'd like to create a button that I hit when I finish making a change in model space, but I don't know how to change from the model tab to the layout tab via the macro.

Checking the command window is no help - after clicking the tab it just shows

so far I have this:

^C^CZ;E; ;Z;E;_QSAVE;_CLOSE

thanks.

Try this:

[color=blue][font="Courier New"]
setvar;ctab;layout1
[/font][/color]

That did the trick perfectly, thanks.

In case this would help anyone else, the macro looks like this:

^C^CZ;E;setvar;ctab;layout1;Z;E;_QSAVE;_CLOSE
