    Could anyone advise me as to how to select ALL layout tabs via lisp.
    I have hundreds of drawings I need to strip ALL layouts from, and I need to do it via lisp, to run in a batch routine.

    You don't need to select all layouts at once.

    (vlax-for layout (vlax-get-layouts(vla-get-activedocument(vlax-get-acad-object)))
    ;;do something with layout

    )

    Stripping all layouts without knowing what is on each one sounds kind of
    severe, even dangerous. Be careful.

    As long as I've seen Doug's posts on this forum, this is the first time that
    I've been able to correct something he posted.... ;-)
    (vlax-for layout
    (VLA-get-layouts(vla-get-activedocument(vlax-get-acad-object)));;Doug had
    vlax-get-layouts.....

    and to expand, inside that vlax-for, a simple (vla-delete layout) will
    remove it. But I must emphasize what Doug pointed out: BE CAREFUL!!!!!!
