    Default AutoLISP to Batch Change Multiple Layers or LayerState on Multiple Drawings

    Hi,

    I've been searching online for a while now, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

    Basically what I'm trying to do is freeze/thaw multiple layers or change layerstates across multiple drawings without having to open all of them.

    Ex.
    Freeze layers 1, 2, 3, 4 and Thaw layer 5 on all .dwgs in a specific folder.
    Thaw layers 1, 2, 3, 4, and Freeze layer 5 on all .dwgs in a specific folder.
    Thaw layers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on all .dwgs in a specific folder.

    or
    Change layer state to E-ON on all .dwgs in a specific folder.
    Change layer state to E-OFF on all .dwgs in a specific folder.
    Change layer state to E-ALL on all .dwgs in a specific folder.

    Full disclosure, I'm not new to AutoLISPs, but am still a novice.

    Thank you in advance.

    Have you considered using Core Console for things like this?

    I've never tried using it. I'm not great at scripts either.
