    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/member_profile.asp?PF=353260">Kent Cooper</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 11439<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 28.Oct.2015 at 14:29<br /><br />Many options in the Layer command &#091;command-line, not dialog-box, version&#093; can take <i>as many Layer names as you want</i>, with comma separators. &nbsp;So, an AutoCAD command macro would be like this:<div><br></div><div>'_.-Layer _off Layer1,Layer2,Layer3,LayerA,LayerB,LayerC,LayerTom,LayerDick,LayerHarry ;</div><div><br></div><div>The apostrophe at the beginning, and the lack of the ^C^C that you so often see used at the beginning of command macros to cancel any command that you may be in at the time, allows you to do it even <i>within</i> another command. &nbsp;The underscore lets it work in other-than-English versions of AutoCAD. &nbsp;The period forces it to use the native Layer command in case there's been any redefinition. &nbsp;The hyphen suppresses the dialog box &#091;you need that, but the preceding punctuation you can omit depending on your circumstances&#093;. &nbsp;The colon at the end is an Enter to complete the Layer command -- other options could be added before that &#091;turning some other Layer(s) on, setting a particular Layer current, etc.&#093;.</div><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by Kent Cooper - 28.Oct.2015 at 14:31</span>]]>
