Send back objects/layers

Send back objects/layers

Send back objects/layers

(OP)
Two questions:
1. When I send object back (Tools/Send back) in Model space, that does not influence VPORTS. Why? Any solution?

2. Does anybody know of a lisp that sends whole layer back?

thanks

RE: Send back objects/layers

Hi ZoranB

1. I don't know the command send back... I use  "_draworder"-> don't forget "regenall"
2. http://www.dotsoft.com/freestuff.htm, "DOBYLAYER.VLX"
It's a Better-than-nothing-Tool

regards, Lothar

RE: Send back objects/layers

Dear ZoranB,
1- It sounds like you need a REGENALL command to update all vports.
2- The following code gets a layer name and sends all objects in the layer to back. The code defines a new command named LBACK.

(defun c:lback(/ lname ss)
  (setq lname (getstring "\n   Layer name: "))
  (setq ss (ssget "x" (list (cons 8 lname))))
  (command "draworder" ss "" "")
  (princ)
)

Regards,
Farzad
