This code will iterate through all your layouts.

If you work with multiple layouts in AutoCAD, Alan Thompson has provided a quick way to ensure that each one is zoomed to its extents. Load this LISP file, then type in the command ZAL. The code will iterate through each layout, performing a Zoom Extents. This could be a good addition to other routines where you might have to clean up files before saving. This code is also a good starting point for other routines that need to perform the same task on multiple layouts.

For those who may prefer to use the drawing limits (rather than Extents), here's a similar one I made earlier this year, that Zooms to the Limits in All Layouts, and then also in model space. Command name = ZLAL = Zoom Limits, All Layouts
ZoomLimitsAllLayouts.lsp

I cannot make this work. When I open these files in notepad I get jibberish. I really think it would be a great tool. For those who have downloaded and used it, what did you do? I have downloaded dozens of lisp and never had this happen. Thanks
