This routine affects viewports on the current layout only.

Sam Lucido's routine addresses a common problem: how to quickly lock or unlock multiple viewports at once in AutoCAD. Start by loading the LISP file, then use the command VPLock to lock or VPUnlock to unlock multiple viewports. If you prefer to not receive the alert dialog at the end, you can comment this out of the code. If you work with multiple layouts, note that these functions only lock or unlock multiple viewports on the current layout; you will have to repeat the command in each layout.

Jill, tecnically it does not matter where you save the file, but you might want to keep all of your custom files in a separate folder (like C:Cadstuff) to make it easy to keep up with these files.
