I have a question about Layouts. I am a novice at AutoCAD, having more experience with ArcGIS. But I think this should be possible?:

I have a DWG with mutliple layouts for printing sub-regions of a community (the DWG covers the entire community). I want to use VBA to retrieve the REAL world model space coordinates that each Layout depicts, not the paper space units. Is this possible? All the experimenting so far has only yielded paper space coordinates.

Thanks in advance!

Public Sub MyTest()


Dim dwg As AutoCAD.AcadDocument
Set dwg = ThisDrawing

Dim lyt As AcadLayout
Dim blk As AcadBlock
Dim vpt As AcadViewport

For L = 0 To dwg.Layouts.Count - 1
Set lyt = dwg.Layouts(L)
Set blk = lyt.Block
'MsgBox dwg.Viewports(L).Name
'Set vpt = dwg.Viewports(L)

MsgBox lyt.PlotOrigin(0)
Next L

End Sub

I think what you need are the WCS coordinates of the viewports on the
layouts. Here's a start for you, hopefully...
