Get Freeze Status in a given Named View ?

I hope someone can help me to get the 'status' e.g. Frozen or Thawed, for a particular Layer, within a named View.
So far, I can get the View Names in a list, but cannot seem
to get the status of a particular Layer - within the selection
set of: (setq ss (ssget 'x' '(0 . "VIEWPORT"))))
I have drilled down to the entity list to see all the (1003 . "Layername") dxf entries, but cannot 'associate' them
with the particular named View.

Thanks for any help.

Bob,

I have not examined this in any depth but it appears
(at first glance) that you might need to dig through
the layer state that is associated with the view.

Here is a dump of a view named "test". Notice the
layer state property.


; IAcadView2: A graphical representation of a 2D drawing or 3D model from a
specific location (viewpoint) in space
; Property values:
; Application (RO) = #<VLA-OBJECT IAcadApplication 00b9d604>
; CategoryName = ""

; Document (RO) = #<VLA-OBJECT IAcadDocument 0d997320>
; Handle (RO) = "1F5"
; HasExtensionDictionary (RO) = -1
; HasVpAssociation = 0
; Height = 10.8411
; LayerState = "ACAD_VIEWS_test"
; LayoutId = 2115497200
; Name = "test"
; ObjectID (RO) = 2115396456
; ObjectName (RO) = "AcDbViewTableRecord"
; OwnerID (RO) = 2115497008

Hope that helps.

dxf entries, but cannot 'associate' them

 

Jason,
Great. Now, how exactly did you get the Object ?
Where are the 'views' kept (as objects) ?

 

Hi Bob,
Not Jason, but this should keep you going.....

(setq views (vla-get-views (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))))
(setq view (vla-item views "test"))

 

Jeff,
Thanks.
I'll check it out.

Bob

 

Jason,
For some reason, I don't get all the items in your list.
Missing are:
CatagoryName
HasVpAssociation
LayerState
LayoutId

I have (developer's edition R2004)
What's the scoop.
Bob

 

Heh, me again Bob..... methinks that those didn't come into being until
R2005......
Wait a minute.....are you saying that you can have layers that are
frozen/thawed in individual Views (not just PSViewports)? For some reason I
thought that, too, was a feature of R2005+

 

Same as Jeff, I am now slightly confused about
the question. I got the impression that you were
using 2005.

 

Jeff, Jason,
Yeah. I have R2004 and R2005, didn't try R2005 yet.
In R2004, you can Freeze a given Layer in PaperSpace,
in a given Named View. Works fine. But, I cannot locate
the 'sticky' bit that tells me if that particular Layer is
Frozen in that particular View.
I can see all the 'info' except the 'LayerState' - which is what
I think I need.
The customer has R2004, so I can't use R2005 for code.
Blah.
Bob

 

Well,
I'm 'baked' today, will check back tomorrow.

Bob

 

I don't have 2004 installed here to try and simulate
what you are describing (our office skipped 2004,
so I am that much less familiar with it's feature set).

Can you provide step by step instructions on how
you are creating these views?
