Background Drawing
Background Drawing
(OP)
I get a drawing file in AutoCAD Format from Architects
for my Mechanical System Design.
Drawing file I receive has lot of blocks and
lines come in many colors.
I've been using Xplode command to break blocks into
individual properties before changing all line colors
into one with Layer Properties Manager before overlaying
my drawings. I noticed this process takes up a long time
if architecture drawing comes in a large file size.
Anyone knows if there is a better way to change architecture drawing files to easy background line drawing?

Sample macro;
explode;all;;

Change;all;;p;la;0;c;bylayer;;
RE: Background Drawing
which ACAD-version are you running? I think you will find a lisp, which can do that...
