Use VBA in AutoCAD to add layout template

[jrice174]

I can easily add a layout to an AutoCAD drawing with

ThisDrawing.Layouts.Add "Sheet1"

But what I really need to do is add a Layout From Template. Does anybody have any idea how to do that?

I'm not clear if this is what you want

Sub Example_New()
' This example creates a new drawing based on the template ansi-a.dwt.
' Note: The path to the template file is included with its name. Adjust
' this path for your installation location before running this example.

Dim templateFileName As String
templateFileName = "c:\AutoCAD\template\ansi-a.dwt"

ThisDrawing.New templateFileName

End Sub

You're great! It worked wonderfully. I also had to set the SDI variable to 1 and it worked great. Thanks again.
