TomKaner Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 I have similar blocks of drilling points on a map and wish to assign them to different layers to color them differently. How can I select blocks by their name, or part of their name, instead of handpick the individually? I also have Civil3D if that helps Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Qselect You could probably use a LISP to select the blocks by name and assign layers/colors if there is a lot of them. LISP to select Block by Name and place to Layer. - AutoLISP, Visual LISP & DCL - AutoCAD Forums (cadtutor.net) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted Monday at 11:05 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:05 PM (edited) Using CIV3D if you have read a say a point file and have a description for each point then the by layer can be done automatically, eg DRILL20, DRILL30 would imply they are a "DRILL's" and it would look at the number part and put the point on the correct layer. If it's a points file can you post a sample ? Edited Monday at 11:06 PM by BIGAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
