Lisp routine needed to merge layers
Marshall E. Caudle
Company I work for needs a lisp routine that will combine
several layers into one. Does anyone out there know of
such a routine?
TIA

You can use AutoCAD's Bonus SSX.LSP to accomplish this. Assuming you have SSX.LSP loaded - type SSX, hit enter to bypass the select objects option, type LA for layer and enter the list of layers separated by commas at the prompt. When finished hit enter until the command prompt returns. Then use the CHPROP command and type P at the select objects prompt to change the previous selection set to a common layer. I hope this helps. :-)

convey the supervening erudition to the espying public:
Actually I think you need to type (ssx) which by the way allows you to
use the command transparently - avoiding the need to create your
selection set and then using "P".
If you are running r13 or later the filter command is another option,
'tho it takes some getting used to.

Marshall -
A quick and easy way to do this is to simply freeze all layers except those
you want to merge, then use the chprop command to change their layer
assignment to the one you want or need.
