Topic: Move Isolated layer objects to Popup Layer Destination

[MSTG007]

I gotta another crazy one for you guys. At a way to move a selected layer objects to a new layer. Not by clicking on a designated object layers name but by a layer manager popup. I can found some routines that do everything but I can not find one that will allow for the layer dialog box to appear so I can select the layer name to move the objects too.

Seems like a lot of waste to me, wouldn't LAYMCH be a more efficient method or select objects, edit property?

Well. Here is what is going on. We get a dwg from somewhere else. We insert all our layers and turn the off / freeze them. Then we isolate an objects layer, select all of the objects and use the properties box to move them to the correct layer. Then Unisolate everything and repeat the process until everything is broken out.

LAYTRANS?

I have messed with that a couple of times, but sometime (most); its like we get dwgs from several different sources.

You can make a separate DWS file (Laytrans template) for each source. From there, you can load the corresponding DWS in Laytrans and correct all layers.

Your right. I was just thinking on the fly type of thing. But you are right. I will see if I can get this setup and see how it does. Thank you guys for the advice!

Do it once, and it'll save a lot more time.

On the fly, step through the layers, and use LayMch.
