Viewport vers Model layers in VBA??

How can a person use VBA to control viewport layers vers controling model space

layers? With a drawing with more than one viewport?

Thank you,

thinking out loud, grab the viewport you want, get its handle, go inside the VP and then manipulate the layers from there

How do you change layer name and color using VBA Code? For example

say you want layer 1 in a view port to be red. Layer one in model space to be

green. Say you want layer one to be blue in second view port. How can this

be done with VBA code?

Thank you,

I can scan thru the layers collections and use something like objLayer.color = TxBoxLayerColor(k) to set color of a layer for the drawing but how can I set

a color in a viewport in paper space without changing the drawing layer color.

There must be a way to access the color in the view port some how.

I will check tomorrow at work, but I would think IF it can be done, there will be a property in the layout or viewport collection, not the layer collection

I was under the impession from reading that thread that I posted, that it couldn't be done...
