Setting Visibility of New Layers in Old Viewports

[shanej]

Is it possible to create a new layer and automatically freeze it in all old viewports?

This will show how manually.

A macro looking something like this might work:

(Defun C:NewLayer ()
(Setvar "CmdEcho" 0)
(Setq NL (GetString "Type your new layer name and press enter: "))
(Command "Layer" "n" NL "s" NL "")
(Command "Vplayer" "f" NL "all" "")
(Command "MView")
(princ)
))

borgunit-
Help me out. The link seems to point to the viewport info but for INTELLICAD. I'm aware that intellicad is an ACAD workalike, but is it so close that command info is the same for both, as using this link for an ACAD command implies? Pretty interesting stuff, if so.

Tks-

Sorry about that. I did a search on VPLAYER and did not even check the software...

Here are a couple of AutoCAD links..
