    Hi

    I want to figure out if a view is made in modelspace or in paperspace.

    Does anyone has an idea how?

    TIA

    I believe the OwnerID property of the View object holds this info for you.
    Compare it to the ModelSpace and PaperSpace ObjectIDs to determine which
    space the object resides. HTH.

    Unless you are using 2005, then access the view thru IAcadView2 and read
    the LayoutId property

    I will watch this with baited breath ..
    I thought the Views Collection owned the Views, and there was no way
    using the VBA Object Model to determine which 'Space' had the view.

    This works in VLisp, but that probably won't interest you :
    (setq view_name "Section_A")
    (setq viewbit (cdr (assoc 70 (tblsearch "view" view_name))))
    which returns an integer to reflect the VIEW space location and/or xref
    info.

    The only thing that jumps out at me is it appears bit
    0 (value 1) in the dxf data group 70 is set when the
    view is in paperspace, otherwise it is clear.

    Excuse me but you posted an answer that was incorrect. All Tony did was correct you and you have a go at him.

    It was useful.

    It prevented someone from wasting their time
    following your bad advice.

    That fact that it annoys you is purely coincidental.

    I tried to get the views from the drawing with the code below.

    Why isn't this working?

    Dim gpCode(1) As Integer
    Dim dataValue(1) As Variant
    Dim ssetObj As AcadSelectionSet
    Set ssetObj = ThisDrawing.SelectionSets.Add("SSET1")

    gpCode(0) = 0
    dataValue(0) = "TABLE"
    gpCode(1) = 2
    dataValue(1) = "VIEW"
    ssetObj.Select acSelectionSetAll, , , gpCode, dataValue
