ok, this is going to sound daft. but here me out. i am under a contractual obligation to provide a set of CAD files in a particualr client CAD standard. Which is over 25 years old and is older than half of the CAD users working for me at the moment. This standard uses 9 layers, for every thing. yes 9. not 90, but 9 and 9 only.
I have set of services drawings that, accirding to this Fu_ked up standard can only go on 3 layers. i have over 40 different types of servcies across about 20 drawings. So, i will have to merge them down to 3 layers. (we were not allowed to use xrefs on this project, stoneage stuff i know)
is there a way that i can take an individual layers properties, and apply them directly to the lines contained on that layer?
So layer "foul_drain" has all lines etc as bylayer. The layer itself has a dashdot linetype and color cyan. can i quickly apply the layer settings directyl to the entities. so that when i merge them i at least retain the color and linetype format.
Your help would be greatly appreciated in this.
