How can I move objects from one layout to another

Solution

You can use the Clone() method to clone the entities of the active layout and then add these cloned items to the other layout, and setting original entities to Deleted. See this code that moves all vdLine objects of the model to a new layout named “test”:

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            doc = vdFramedControl1.BaseControl.ActiveDocument; // make sure that this document contains some vdLine objects
            vdLayout lay = new vdLayout(doc, "test"); // create and add a new layout
            lay.SetUnRegisterDocument(doc); lay.setDocumentDefaults();
            doc.LayOuts.AddItem(lay);

            foreach (vdFigure item in doc.Model.Entities) // check all objects of the Model
            {
                if (item is vdLine) // and if it is vdLine
                {
                    vdFigure fig = item.Clone(doc) as vdFigure; // clone the object
                    lay.Entities.AddItem(fig); // add this to the new layout
                    item.Deleted = true;// delete the model’s line
                }
            }
            lay.Update();
            lay.ZoomExtents();
        }
