    Default Layer switching from Text file

    Hi,

    I'm looking for a lisp that will allow me to have several text files with layers in each of them and then run commands to switch the layers in my drawing.

    Example:
    FL text file contains Floor plan related layer.
    RCP text file has Reflected ceiling layer.

    I want a lisp routine that I can type FL and it will freeze all and thaw Floor plan related layer. it would also do this through xref.
    Same for if I typed RCP.
    I know if have seen something like this around just can not find it now that I need it.

    Thanks,
    Rich

    Default Re: Layer switching from Text file

    Do you have a sample of the text file for each? You could use this routine to read the file to process the layer names.

    Layer States may be a better option, though.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.
