Topic: Moving objects from one layer to another

[Krushert]

Basically moving stuff from the Layer-NEW to Layer-EXISTING.  IT is just that I have 174 layers with a lot of stuff on each layer to go thru and do the move and then times this for 4 more floors.  I am using the Express Tools Layer-Merge command and it is working.  But I am wondering how you guys do it.

I would use MAP witha range table and perform a single query operation similar to below:

If Object layer= then change to this other layer....

I would create small LISP.
Pseudo Code

Enter Prefix or select object for New Layer.
Using a filter allow user to select objects
If none selected use all objects in DWG that have that layer
Test for <prefix>-EXISTING layer, if not make it
Move selected objects to that layer.

This would require minimal user input.

Ditto CAB but VBA
