need a lisp routine to paste objects to current layer

[jon_chen]

Hi Guys, i have this problem. in my work, i need to use layers for the design, and sometimes i copy objects from other drawings, when i paste the objects in current drawing, they are pasted in their original layer, and then i need to change the layers of all the pasted objects to the current (active) layer.

well, it doesn't sound very handful, but when i need to copy and paste a lot of them, it is quite a work to do.

so, does anyone have a lisp routine that can do this;

when i do the paste operation, it automatically changes the layer of the objects in clipboard into the current layer or say active layer?

 

many thanks!

Maybe paste as a block then run convert all objects in block to current layer, explode, purge block.

thank you, that is one way to go, but I’m thinking if there is a more direct way or say one step operation way to do the work?
