Plotting with layout Changed Events

I was curious as to whether other people have had problems in Autocad 2004
with sudden crashes using the layout changed event. I am using a program
that remembers layout names and saves layer color and linetypes based on
the layout name. During normal layout switching it works fine, but when
plotting multiple sheets, something is going awry when autocad changes the
layout to plot. My guess is that plot is not waiting for the VBA commands
to run? Anybody know a good alternative to this? I am looking for the
color and linetype changes to be made per layout, since Autodesk hasn't put
in a layer control by layout setting. (so that we can emphasize different
layers on different sheets in a document without a different file for each
sheet)

 

How are you plotting the layouts - one at a time, or all at once by
specifying to use all within the call to plotting? If the latter, switch
to plotting one at a time with a call to Win32 API's SLEEP to slow
things down.

Also, is this a full vb app or vba? It is possible that it will never
work if you are using vba since the event might not fire until the
plotting app is finished.
