A script might be a set of instructions that open a drawing, make changes to a layer name and color, purge, audit (check for errors), do a zoom > extents then a save.  It would cycle through a folder or directory of drawings doing this to each and every drawing.

Check out AutoDesk's free ScriptPro at their website.

A script.
Although I use AutoCad since version 2.16 I never realy got into the deep end of it I can do some lisp program but not much more mate.
I discovered just recently how to record a macro, would that do the trick?
Will try

thanks

I don't think you can make wholesale changes.  Maybe the best you could do is write a script and let it do the drudge work.]]> Fri, 28 Oct 2011 12:00:04 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=6813&PID=17594&title=change-of-layer-attributes#17594 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=6813&PID=17590&title=change-of-layer-attributes#17590 Author: rogzimmi

Hello All
I have a Library with blocks which I made and since we are doing work for a big client, we have to comply with his CAD standards such as Layer names and colours.
My question is :
is there a way to make these changes in one go or do I have to open each block and do the changes the old fashion way?
