Window pick points from page setup

[Chip Harper]

How can I extract the pick points supplied to page setup by the window
option?
I want to use the points in a custom plot routine. I need to reuse the
previos pick points and I can't use the previous setup. An example would be
sending one 40x32 full size plot to one plotter and sending a half plot to
another. I have a working routine but we have to pick the window points each
time.

hehe, i should fire some up here, have a long night ahead

I did find one reference, if you know how to access Objects via LISP.

If you look under DXF reference, Objects, there is a PLOTSETTINGS object
that should have the info you need, I just don't know how to get to it? I
started looking at going through the Dictionary of the drawing, but don't
think that's the way to do it. :/

Hint:
(and
(not (vla-GetWindowToPlot Layout 'P1 'P2))
P1 (setq P1 (vlax-safearray->list P1))
P2 (setq P2 (vlax-safearray->list P2))
)

where Layout can be either a Layout or a PlotConfiguration object (I think).
