edit multiple blocks in one command?

[Maverick91]

Is there a way to edit multiple different blocks in one command? I have a drawing file (imported from a DNG file), with different blocks with the same layers. I want to change all of their entities to color and line weight bylayer. I want to avoid opening each individual block.

TIA

if you want everything by layer, you can use the setbylayer command, and it will give you the option to modify all blocks as well.

That was introduced in 2010, prior to that point, I believe I used the routine FIXBLOCK.lsp from Owen Wengerd at Manusoft. http://www.manusoft.com/software/freebies/lisp.html

Redefines all or selected blocks so that all entities are on layer '0' (zero), with color 'BYBLOCK'.

I think I just found my new favorite command. Thanks!
