LAYER MACRO HELP PLEASE!

[kyle554700]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a macro that selects all objects in a drawing, sets the layer to "0" and changes the color of all the objects to "color 8" to be used when cleaning architecture files. I'm fairly new to macros and haven't the slightest idea how this would be accomplished.

We are using some version of AutoCAD LT on almost all of our PCs, so I'm pretty sure a LIPS routine is out of the question. Ideally, I'd like it to be a simple command string that I can add to one of our custom ribbon panels.

If you have any ideas on how this can be accomplished or where I can find the information on how this can be done, please let me know! I'm kind of on a tight timeline to get this done (Due May 9th) so any immediate help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!

save as text with a .scr extension, run with the SCRIPT command.
