Question
I am trying to make a button with a command to create a viewport on the VIEWPORT layer within paperspace. I can get it to create the viewport by copying the other commands but I cant seem to get it to use the VIEWPORT layer and then set back to layer 0.
Please let me know if you can help me out.
Send me the contents of your macro and I'll take a look. Remember spaces (or enters) are semicolons and pauses for command input are backslashes. It needs to be exactly like you would do at the command line, with backslashes where you pick points or enter something.
Without testing, I think you would have something like this:
^C^C-layer;s;viewport;;mview;\\-layer;s;0;;
