I have heard of the layer translater, but I was hoping to have a competely automated layer translater since the both sets of layers will always be the same.]]> Tue, 26 May 2009 21:00:33 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2034&PID=5670&title=autolisp-to-change-layer-data#5670 <![CDATA[AutoLISP to change layer data : There is already a tool in CAD...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2034&PID=5639&title=autolisp-to-change-layer-data#5639 Author: msplcdykee69

There is already a tool in CAD that does this once you set it up. In your standard AutoCAD toolbars it is called CAD Standard. It has a layer translater. We use this at our company to when we get drawings from surveyors/architects. Works great if they keep within their own standards as well. I hope this helps.]]> Sat, 23 May 2009 14:12:24 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2034&PID=5639&title=autolisp-to-change-layer-data#5639 <![CDATA[AutoLISP to change layer data : My civil engineering company creates...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2034&PID=5630&title=autolisp-to-change-layer-data#5630 Author: brianWLB

My civil engineering company creates survey AutoCADD files with one set of layers, to be sent to architects we are working with, but these layers are different (in name, color, etc.) than the layers we use in our office. I'm looking for a LISP that will convert the "architect" layers to our layers. does anyone know of a LISP (or functions to create one) that can modify the name, color, and linetype of existing layers in a drawing?

Thanks,

Brian
