VP Freeze a Xref layer in a specific layout...

[alanjt]

I check your lisp routine, oh boy ! It's not for beginner !

 

Is there an easy way to do that ? If I know the layout and layers name and if Im sure that these names will never change...

Did you get it to run?

 

Defining the layers is easy. When you say you know the layout, will the layout always have the same name?

I try it ! It's what I want but more "automatic" !

 

The layout and the layers will always have the same, instead if someone change it by error...

Hmm, maybe something like this...

 

Just edit the layers and layouts variable accordingly.

(defun c:Test (/ layers layouts ctab ss)
 (setq l[color=Red]ayers  "layer1,layer2,lay*"
       layouts '("Layout1" "Layout2")[/color]
       ctab    (getvar 'ctab)
 )
 (foreach x (layoutlist)
   (if (and (member x layouts)
            (setq ss (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "VIEWPORT") (cons 410 x))))
       )
     (progn
       (setvar 'ctab x)
       (command "_.vplayer" "_Freeze" layers "_select" ss "" "")
     )
   )
 )
 (and ctab (setvar 'ctab ctab))
 (princ)
)

If you have any questions about it, just ask. Also, if you wish to continue with LISP, PM me your email addy and I'll shoot you some reading.

Try this as a MACRO.

 

^C^C_VPLAYER;F;*CRITDIM*,*MERCH*,*DIVISION*,*DIVISION_TEXT*,2EAS;A;;

 

Where the Xref layers are:

MERCH

DIVISION

DIVISION_TEXT

 

And other layers in the drawing i want frozen are:

CRITDIM

2EAS

 

Add the macro to your own new toolbar and this will freeze ALL layers

within 1 or all viewports within your drawing with just 1 Click.

 

cheers
