Frenul Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Hi all! I want to ask how can I change existing layers to other existing layers automatically? Is it possible without LISP? I have to do it about 20-30 times/day and then set the lines to the appropriate layer value. Thanks for your answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 If you have a few layers then you could have a pop menu or toolbar, you would make a selection then click on the menu option inside the menu or toolbar is ^c^cchprop la layername 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Welcome to CadTutor Frenul. This sounds like you might want to know about the LAYTRANS command. Particularly helpful if a lot of these are coming from repeat suppliers. Here you go https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/video/youtube/watch-v-sMUiMWiL0Z4.html Edited November 13, 2021 by Dadgad link added 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to do this by clicking on the line of each utility, selecting all the lines on the layer, setting it to my own layer, and then setting it to a layer value. In LISP, this can be done using layer pairs. In any case, thank you for your answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I am sorry that wouldn't work for you. Please help US to help YOU, by changing your profile SOFTWARE to AutoCad LT 2022. I am not sure if LAYMERGE command is available in LT, as I have never used it, you might want to check it out, as another approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven-g Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 @BIGAL @Dadgad I would go with the LAYMRG command that Dadgad mentioned, it could be turned into a macro if it is always a list of the same layers that are involved, but just as a command it does only require picking two objects, one on the original layer and then an object on the destination layer (or choose the option NAME to pick from a dialogue box). The -LAYMRG version og the command will also delete the original layer if that is required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
