change layer properties in multiple dwg
« on: August 22, 2013, 10:18:59 AM »
Hi,

I need to change the color, linetype and lineweight of a layer in multiple (>6000) drawings.
The layername is the same in all the drawings.

Layername = axis (in all dwg)
color: 7 ->  1
ltp: continuous -> hidden
lwt: default -> 0.2

What would be the best way to do this?

Thx

If you don't mind the drawings being saved to native format (that is, the highest drawing version available in the host application), you could use my ObjectDBX Wrapper function to process the drawings without opening them.
