viewport layer color

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to write a lisp to change the color of a layer just in a viewport. I know there are commands to freeze a layer of turn off a layer in a viewport but i havent found one to change a layer color.

Thank you for any information you can give

With the viewport set as current, type LAYER and the layer dialog box will come up with additional columns for viewport properties, including layer color, so you can change it there. I don't know if you can/how to do it from the command line though.

check this thread

thank you but i was really looking to do it from the command line.

Is this viewport colour operation post-'04 ?

Yes, it was introduced with v. 2008.

Ahh, I see, thanks

Layer Viewport overrides and Viewport annotation scaling.

 

- ObjectARX and AutoCAD .NET allow you to programmatically set these overrides

 

- COM and AutoLISP do not support this

(unable to automate using command function)

from autocad.net_for_lisp_programmers_webcast, there was a sample on how this can be done on command line through lisp but calling .net functionality.

look for autocad.net for lisp prorammers
