Jimmy, that is a quick and simple approach which met the requirements. Well done. I will say this, though.....using wblock will allow any and all named layer filters in the original drawing to be copied to all of the new drawings, at least in R2002 and below.
Ron, good question. That error will occur when calling for an item in a collection (usually) that doesn't exist. If you could open the code in the VLIDE, set a break point near the beginning, step through the code while it's running and note at what line it errors I may be able to figure it out
Has anyone else with 2005 tried this?
