Title: Page setup reporting (across multiple files)
Post by: cadpoobah on December 06, 2016, 09:17:08 AM
All,
I'm generating a page setup reporting tool (think Reference Manager). I want to see the status of layouts (& their page setups) in multiple drawings (via Object DBX). I'm having trouble obtaining a list of layouts and their respective page setup name.
Can anyone share a code snippet that will show me how to access this info?
Thanks!
Chris

I wanted a reporting tool a while back too, until I realized that I could instead just set the desired Page Setup (also works with DBX):

Good idea, @BlackBox. Our page setups are imported every time our drawings are opened to keep them current and ensure that they are available. I typically don't force them to be assigned to the layouts.
I think I would still like a way to generate a birds-eye view of an entire folder. It would be nice to see a list like what appears in Publish, showing all the layouts and their respective page setup.
