    return HANDLE

Name	Type	Description
layerName	STRING
layerType	INTEGER

Examples

writeln('SheetNumber_UDS = ',gSheetInfo [sheetNum].SheetNumber_UDS, '   SheetNumber_Seq = ',gSheetInfo [sheetNum].SheetNumber_Seq);
}
				{ create the sheet layer using the correct sheet number }
				IF gUseVW_UDS THEN
					sheetLayerH := CreateLayer( gSheetInfo [sheetNum].SheetNumber_UDS, 2 )
				ELSE sheetLayerH := CreateLayer( gSheetInfo [sheetNum].SheetNumber_Seq, 2 );

{//// create an empty temp layer and make it visible in the viewport }
tempLayName := CreateUUID;
tempLayHand := CreateLayer( tempLayName, 1 );
boo := SetVPLayerVisibility( testVPHand, tempLayHand, 0 );

BEGIN
	getPrintArea (pageWidth, pageHeight);
	sheetLayerH := CreateLayer (Concat (GetPluginString (3020),'1'), 2);	{"Sheet Layer-1"}
	Layer (GetLName (sheetLayerH));
	SetDrawingRect (pageWidth, pageHeight);
