Topic: Layer State name doesn't show in dialog box

[Matt__W]

I've got this snippet of code that will create a layer state called "Temp_Layer_State" but it doesn't show up in the Layer States dialog box.  It's in the dictionary and I get a 'duplicate key' error if I try to create again so it does exist.  Anyone know the trick to getting it to show up in the dialog box?

Code: [Select]

Public Sub LS()
    Dim objLSM As AcadLayerStateManager
   
    Set objLSM = ThisDrawing.Application.GetInterfaceObject("AutoCAD.AcadLayerStateManager.17")
    objLSM.SetDatabase ThisDrawing.Database
   
    objLSM.Save "Temp_Layer_State", acLsAll
    Set objLSM = Nothing
End Sub

Well this is odd.  Instead of using 'acLsAll' I used the code below and now it shows up in the dialog box.  Huh. 

Code: [Select]

Public Sub LS()
    Dim objLSM As AcadLayerStateManager
   
    Set objLSM = ThisDrawing.Application.GetInterfaceObject("AutoCAD.AcadLayerStateManager.17")
    objLSM.SetDatabase ThisDrawing.Database
   
    objLSM.Save "Temp_Layer_State2", [color=red]acLsColor + acLsFrozen + acLsLineType + acLsLineWeight + acLsLocked + acLsNewViewport + acLsNone + acLsOn + acLsPlot + acLsPlotStyle[/color]
    Set objLSM = Nothing
End Sub

Matt,

As far as I recall / know  - that's a known bug.

Ah... that would explain it!

Thanks!
