The layer command was undefined after all? Who would have guessed? LOL

Thanks. That fixed it. I'm not sure why it's acting up now though because it's worked in the past before. Perhaps there is a system variable change that causes me to use this layer command format...?

Looks like the LAYER command is undefined or redefined. Try:
(command "_-layer" "_f" "*keyplan|*patt-*" "") |
or
(command ".layer" "_f" "*keyplan|*patt-*" "") |

Odd. It's like it's passing right over "layer" and assuming "f" is the command. What version/flavor of AutoCAD are you using?

Also, have you tried entering each line directly into the command line to see if you get the same error?

Thanks - that was from my old days. I guess I never really noticed it.

When I type in "layer" it pulls up the layer dialogue box.
It's killing me that my lisp routine is not working!!! Sorry, just a little frustrated. Hopefully someone had the same problem and could help me.

You didn't redefine the layer command did you?
