Hello. Is it possible to write a lisp routine that could get all elements in model space, take whatever layers they are on, and extract all the layer properties into a spreadsheet? I have attached a sample cad file replicated to what I need to do. so basically, we get a raw cad file which some of the elements are being controlled by the colors. Now, I need to put the elements according to the following layer naming convention: Layer Cyan >> TL-1 Layer E >> TL-2 Layer Green >> TL-3 Layer RedStuff >> TL-4 Layer GROUND >> TL-5 Layer Yellow >> TL-6 But my problem is some other elements are on the same layer but different in color which is supposed to be put on a different layer such as: Color magenta >> TL-7 color blue >> TL-8 color whit >> TL-9 I only thought maybe I could just get all the elements properties and sort it out using excel sheet and manually do a simple script to change their layers and stuffs once I already know the specific colors to get that is present in my model space. quick select is a good option to do it but I got a bunch of drawings and bunch of elements in one drawing and it's so tedious to do it manually like that. I am open to any other easier suggestions if there's any and thank you in advance for any help. Drawing1.dwg
