Why will this not work to make the zero layer the current layer? This seems to be the easiest way to make it current. the layer is not frozen or off. What other coding do i need if any?

ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer.Name = "0"

Hi vbcad,

Try this:

Code: 
ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer = ThisDrawing.Layers("0")

or

Code: 
Dim lyr as AcadLayer

Set lyr = ThisDrawing.Layers("0")

ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer = lyr


ActiveLayer requires a layer object, not a string value.
