Looking for some macro information

Looking for some macro information

Looking for some macro information

(OP)
I am having a hard time figuring out how to turn a layer on/off in a drawing using a macro.

I wrote a macro that is being used as a temporary fix. It will print the drawing, make a pdf, make a dxf, and then close it until we have our drawings vaulted into our PLM system at which point it will do all that for us. Part of my issue is we currently put information on a drawing at our prototype stage that we don't use at release, and I want to add that to the Macro...I just can't figure out how to do it.

I'm also trying to figure out a way to save a new drawing as the model file name with the revision from a drawing property...not having a lot of luck with that one either.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
