Examples

VBA:

Sub Example_Layer()
    ' This example creates a new layer named "ABC" (colored blue).
    ' It then creates a circle and assigns it to layer "ABC"

    ' Create new layer
    Dim layerObj As AcadLayer
    Set layerObj = ThisDrawing.Layers.Add("ABC")
    Dim color As AcadAcCmColor
	   Set color = AcadApplication.GetInterfaceObject("AutoCAD.AcCmColor." & Left(CStr(AcadApplication.Version), 2))
    Call color.SetRGB(80, 100, 244)
    layerObj.TrueColor = color
    
    ' Create Circle
    Dim circleObj As AcadCircle
    Dim center(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim radius As Double
    center(0) = 3: center(1) = 3: center(2) = 0
    radius = 1.5
    Set circleObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddCircle(center, radius)
    ZoomAll
    MsgBox "The circle has been created on layer " & circleObj.Layer, , "Layer Example"
        
    ' Set the layer of new circle to "ABC"
    circleObj.Layer = "ABC"

    ' Refresh view
    ThisDrawing.Regen (True)
    MsgBox "The circle is now on layer " & circleObj.Layer, , "Layer Example"
