2x Identical Mviews in my paper space - Is it possible?

Hello all

I need to have one mview always updating itself with an active viewport. Here is what I mean

I have a viewport on top right corner of my sheet - Lets call it "Mview A"

I create a new Mview "We call it Mview B" and turn ON or OFF some layers using "Freeze on active viewport"

I want "Mview A" also turn those layers ON or OFF Automatically.

Now if I create a new Mview C and turn layers ON or OFF, I want my Mview A follow Mview C (in other words, Mview A should always be identical to my active viewport.)

Is this possible to do with code?

Regards

In short, 'Probably not'

A little longer, VIEWPOPRT entities cannot be made or modified with AutoLisp. The work around could be a reactor that would read the alterd viewport dxf data, and the use (command) to try and update another to match the layer states. This would be a fairly daunting task. And I would think it would have to customized for each unique drawing file.

To clarify, you cannot use (command) with a Reactor, however, the Viewports could be created and modified using the relevant Visual LISP Properties and Methods - though I agree, such an application would certainly not be straightforward to create.

Did not know that. Not even if the reactor calls another routine?

I'm surprised ADESKk allows access to the viewport's xdata now. I would have thought it could lead to disastrous result with corrupt or conflicting data. -David

Not even then, the reactor callback function cannot call the command function during evaluation.
