Dim ACAD As AcadApplication Dim objLayer As AcadLayer

The following is from Autodesk Help

 

Dim newlayer As AcadLayer
Set newlayer = ThisDrawing.Layers.Add("LAYER1")
ThisDrawing.ActiveLayer = newlayer

katto01 you may want to look into setting variables using vba there are so many "clayer" "osmode" "style" to mention a few Hippe013 has answered layer there is probably a list somewhere vba v's autocad v's LIsp.

Still don't have a solution. I need to switch between EXISTING layers. Adding a new layer is not helping

Say I have 3 layers L1,L2,L3

 

I need to select L1 and do something on it, then select L2 and do something on it etc.

 

Thank you
