Is there a way in AutoCAD 2009 to add a prefix to all layer names.

IE: to change all layers from build, sewer, water to wae_build, wae_sewer, wae_water by adding wae_ to the front of all layer names.

I hope this makes sense.
Cheers
Alli

if you have a rummage about in the lisp section, you may find somebody has written some code to do that

Nope, I just looked there, there is one for mergeing two layers, but not to add a prefix.
