Is it possible with vba to make a preview command button work just like the built-in plot dialogue preview button? (e.g. switch focus to preview for user interaction, and on user exit return autocad to normal view state and focus back to modal form.) Here's the closest I've come. [code] 'Modeless form with a preview button and a cancel button. Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() 'Me.Hide 'ThisDrawing.SendCommand "Preview" & vbCr ThisDrawing.Plot.DisplayPlotPreview acFullPreview 'Me.Show End Sub [/code] Specifically, I've encountered two issues: 1. I'd prefer a modal form, but if I use the preview Method in a modal form, the normal user exits don't seem to work (w2kp, a2k5). The only way to exit the preview is to minimize and restore the window. The preview Command seems to work with a modal form if I hide it first (which is what I want anyway), but that leads to issue two. 2. I can't figure out how to show the form on user exit of the preview. Is there an event for this? Or some normal user input call I have missed? If I uncomment me.show, then it doesn't wait for the user to exit the preview. Any input welcome.
