Lisp for translating the layers

Histor · Dec 26, 2022

I have a drawing exported from 3D to 2D. In AutoCAD 2D Drawing all the layers needs to be laytransed to background layer (grey).

when I do laytrans, Some of the layers (LayerA and layerC), shall be excluded from above mentioned laytrans.

I am manually doing the laytrans. But I want some one of your help to get lisp for performing this activity.

A "script" (*.scr file) could probably handle this, depending on your layer naming convention.
Here's one site with info:

The script file would look something like:

layer
color
8 (or other background color)
*
color
(desired color here)
LayerA,layerc
(2 blank lines, to end the layer command)

Or if excluded layers should just keep original color, maybe this:

layer
lock
LayerA,layerc
color
8
*
unlock
LayerA,layerc
(2 blank lines, to end the layer command)
