Interrogate Layers Within Block

Interrogate Layers Within Block

Interrogate Layers Within Block

(OP)
I seem to remember that within the express tools to AutoCAD there were commands for interogating the layers within a block.  This enabled you to turn of layers within a block without having to explode it.

I know the express tools dont work on AutoCAD LT (I am running 2006) but was wondering if there was another way I could do this.  Any suggestions?

RE: Interrogate Layers Within Block

I don't believe so.  The E.T. command is something like "list nested entity", which makes use of the lisp function "nentsel".  You will need a lisp enabler such as "lt-extender".

RE: Interrogate Layers Within Block

I think that you can interrogate the layers of a block drawing by invoking the refedit command.
