Is there a way to import layer lists into a text file?

[d_m_hopper]

I have a 'working' routine which is used for dwg cleanup, I am adding layers to it as I recieve client dwgs.

I would love to know if it is possible import/extract the layer names to a file for easy copy paste into my routine.

never mind, I feel so stupid now

solution:

run layer trans, and open log file in note pad to view layers

You could do it without the express tools. Just step though the layer collection, and write the value of the properties you want to the text file.

for what I need I just need to find arch desktop layers and or client layers named a-door,a-wall,a-glaze,etc

the routine selects all other layers and freezes them

As long as you found something that works for you, then it's all good. I just don't like my customization to depend on code I don't/can't control.

Copy & paste ?
Command: -layer

Current layer: "zDtl xLight 1"
Enter an option
[?/Make/Set/New/ON/OFF/Color/Ltype/LWeight/Plot/PStyle/Freeze/Thaw/LOck/Unlock]:
?

Enter layer name(s) to list <*>: Press Enter

Layer name State Color Linetype Lineweight
------------------ ----------- ------------- ------------ ------------
"_KTI_CONTROL" Frozen -L-P 7 (white) "Continuous" Default
"0" on -P 7 (white) "Continuous" Default
"CONSTRUCTION" on -P 2 (yellow) "HDR" Default
"Defpoints" on 7 (white) "Continuous" Default
"E1_ELECT_CNTRL" Frozen -P 7 (white) "Continuous" Default

I forgot about that one...I need more than my usual amount of coffee today.

Thanks for the help guys
