Routine to change layer settings on multiple viewports in multiple tabs

(1/2) > >>

Hi,

I work with drawings often with 200+ layouts.  They are drawings supplied by our client.  Each of the layouts has 2 viewports, 1 large & 1 small.  The drawings can take 6-8hrs to plot.  If I can freeze/turn off all (120 layers) but 3 layers on the small viewport in ea layout I believe I can reduce the plot times  by 40%+. Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Damian.

BIGAL:
Post a sample dwg so can check the viewports, just need to make sure they are always created in same order, the extra bit would be to check for large and small.

Does not need to many say 2-3 and a few layers.

Some of the properties allow to work out big or small
Select object: ; IAcadPViewport: IAcadPViewport Interface
; Property values:
;   Center = (397.414 301.03 0.0)
;   CustomScale = 0.485444
;   Height = 473.195
;   ObjectName (RO) = "AcDbViewport"
;   StandardScale = 1
;   StandardScale2 = 1
;   Target = (610.872 453.508 0.0)
;   Width = 776.284

Say in this example in the small viewport (key) I would only have 141, Grid layers an possible 1 more.

Maybe this will speed up your plotting:
