How to export layer list (with properties) from AutoCAD LT?

In LT2000i (and higher) you can use the Layer State function (Alt+S) in the "Layer manager" dialog (and Export it to a LAS file).

In older versions of AutoCAD LT you can eq. switch on session logging and perform a LAYER command:

_LOGFILEON
_-LAYER ?
_LOGFILEOFF

You will find the result in < drawingname >_1_1_xxx.LOG file. To avoid "Press ENTER to continue" breaks, set the QAFLAGS variable to 2.
