Macro For Xref Layers Freeze and change color

[engamrsalah]

Hey Guys ,
I need help making a macro for changing xref layers color and freeze some layers.

For example i need it to
Freeze layers A-ANNO-SECT-IDEN & A-ANNO-DIMS ALSO CHANGE COLOR OF LAYER A-ANNO-GRID-TEXT & A-ANNO-COLUMN-HATCH TO COLOR 40.

Well, all layers included within an XREF, will have a pipe symbol ( | ) between the reference name of the XREF and the layer name. Your macro could use a wildcard symbol ( * ) followed by the pipe when supplying the names to the layer command.

-layer;freeze;*|A-ANNO-SECT-IDEN,*|A-ANNO-DIMS;c;40;*|A-ANNO-GRID-TEXT,*|A-ANNO-COLUMN-HATCH;;

The above code should work, but may fall over if the layers are not present in your references.
