Freeze layers in veiwport question

My work mate has just asked me a question, I cant answer it, I wonder if someone on here can

He has got a drawing with multiple tabs, he has just pasted a layer in off another drawings, but he needs to turn that layer off in all drawings tabs (in all veiwports) apart from one drawing is there anyway of selecting all the tabs it need to be turned off in, instead of going into each tab clicking in the model, selecting the layer and freezing it

Try the VPLayer command; works with Freeze, not Off

Please can you explain to me how to use it

Vplayer > Freeze > Enter layer name(s) to freeze or : Type layer name or select

Specify viewport(s) [All/Select/Current] : All

My error, works only one tab at a time

cheers ive learnt alot this week

Here's a quicky, a little slow...

(defun c:test (/ ln ct)
(setq ln (getstring T "Enter layer name(s) to freeze: "));separate multiple layers with a comma
(setq ct (getvar "ctab"))
(foreach lay (layoutlist)(command "_layout" "_Set" lay "_mspace"  "Vplayer" "f" ln "a" ""))
(setvar "ctab" ct)
 (princ)
 )

Just so you know, with the latest C3D 2009 service pack, they finally fixed the VPlayer bug, the freeze all option finally works again.

I just tried freeze all in 2007 and it works fine

It was broken in v2009.

Thanks for the heads up. I thought it worked in 2008; new job, I've got 2009 now.

I guess I oughta get around to installing the service packs...
