When extruding it always extrudes into the current layer and not the layer of the polyline. Is there a way to stop this and so it extrudes into the layer that the polyline is without having to change it?

The extruded object is usually created in the current layer so make sure the polyline layer is set to current before you extrude it

Sounds like a good place for a macro that would first change layers to that of the object then extrude.

That would be ideal if I knew how to do it!

I didn't forget you spursnutter.

 

I see you are using AutoCAD 2009. So in reply to your last statement above I would suggest that you use the Action Recorder feature of your program to create an action macro. I tried it myself this morning and was able to get it to work. I typed in the two main commands at the command prompt. They are _LAYMCUR and _EXTRUDE. Give it a try.
