Use the Save method to save a set of layer settings in a drawing. The Save method accepts two parameters. The first parameter is a string naming the layer settings you are saving. The second parameter identifies the layer properties you want to save. Use the constants in the following table to identify layer properties.
Add the constants together to specify multiple properties.
If you try to save layer settings under a name that already exists, an error is returned. You must rename or delete the existing saved layer settings before you can reuse the name.
Save a layer's color and linetype settings
The following code saves the color and linetype settings of the current layer under the name ColorLinetype.
Sub Ch4_SaveLayerColorAndLinetype()
Dim oLSM As AcadLayerStateManager
' Access the LayerStateManager object
Set oLSM = ThisDrawing.Application. _
GetInterfaceObject("AutoCAD.AcadLayerStateManager.17")' Associate the current drawing database with LayerStateManager
oLSM.SetDatabase ThisDrawing.Database
oLSM.Save "ColorLinetype", acLsColor + acLsLineType
End Sub
The following code renames the ColorLinetype layer settings to OldColorLinetype.
Sub Ch4_RenameLayerSettings()
Dim oLSM As AcadLayerStateManager
Set oLSM = ThisDrawing.Application. _
GetInterfaceObject("AutoCAD.AcadLayerStateManager.17")oLSM.SetDatabase ThisDrawing.Database
oLSM.Rename "ColorLinetype", "OldColorLinetype"
End Sub
The following code deletes layer settings that were saved under the name ColorLinetype.
Sub Ch4_DeleteColorAndLinetype()
Dim oLSM As AcadLayerStateManager
Set oLSM = ThisDrawing.Application. _
GetInterfaceObject("AutoCAD.AcadLayerStateManager.17")oLSM.SetDatabase ThisDrawing.Database
oLSM.Delete "ColorLinetype"
End Sub
