Topic: thaw layer in viewport

[danny]

I trying to right a script to thaw a layer within the view port.  this is what i have

Code: [Select]

_.mspace
-layer
thaw
A-f2|A-ANNO-KAIS-048

qsave

the problem is that "thaw" does not thaw the layer in that viewport.  Is their a command to do this or is lisp necessary?

You will need to use the vplayer command not the _layer command.
Not exactly sure how you are trying to use this, in a script or macro?

"vplayer" "t" "A-f2|A-ANNO-KAIS-048" "current" ""

I wanted to use it in a script.  I've got 100 or so drawings that this layer has to thawed in.  I wondering now.. if theirs two or more viewports in a drawing,  the script won't work??

As a script, no, but you can write a Lisp routine that will do the trick and call the Lisp routine with your script.

I think you can use the ALL option and still use in a script.
Please confirm.


vplayer
t
A-f2|A-ANNO-KAIS-048
all
""

As Charles pointed out the ALL option in vplayer will make the change to all the viewports in the CURRENT layout tab.  you'll need lisp if you use multiple layout tabs.

[CAB]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the only restriction for vplayer is that you be
in paper space when you execute the command and it changes ALL viewports in ALL tabs.
So this is what you need:

Code: [Select]

TileMode
0
vplayer
t
A-f2|A-ANNO-KAIS-048
all
""

You're correct, Charles.  The last time I checked we were beta slammin' R2000, it didn't work on multi-tabs then and i never went back to verify.  Thanks for the heads up.

I stand (actually, I'm sitting, but you get the idea) corrected!

Good one CAB!
