Change current layer and selection set to layer 0..

Hi All,

I want a quick LISP command to change the current layer to 0 but not just do that, i want to be able to select objects first to change, so it changes all selected objects and the drawing's current layer to 0. I've tried this code out but it won't work (not the changing slected objects bit anyway)....any ideas on what i'm doing wrong or a better solution to my code?

; SET OBJECTS AND CURRENT LAYER TO 0..
(defun C:00 ()
 (setq a (cadr (ssgetfirst)))  
 (if a (command "-LAYER" "S" " " a "S" "0" ""))
 (princ)
)

Thanks,

oops.. wrong thread

Edit: I was called away when i was about to reply to another thread but somebody mess with my station.. serves me right not locking my desktop

maybe:

 [b][color=FUCHSIA]([/color][/b]while [b][color=NAVY]([/color][/b]not ss[b][color=NAVY])[/color][/b]
        [b][color=NAVY]([/color][/b]princ [color=#2f4f4f]"\nSelect Entites To Change To Layer 0"[/color][b][color=NAVY])[/color][/b]
        [b][color=NAVY]([/color][/b]setq ss [b][color=MAROON]([/color][/b]ssget[b][color=MAROON])[/color][/b][b][color=NAVY])[/color][/b][b][color=FUCHSIA])[/color][/b]

I wouldn't recommend using numeric characters ( if that is what they are ) as the leading character or all characters in a function name. I couldn't tell if they were zeros or the letter O. -David

Or if you want to use the pre-selection:

(defun C:00 (/ a)
 (if (setq a (cadr (ssgetfirst)))
   (command "_.change" a "" "_Properties" "_LAyer" "0" "")
 )
 (command "_.LAYER" "_Set" "0" "")
 (princ)
)

#3 + #4 = #5

(defun C:00 ( / ss)
 (if (or (setq ss (cadr (ssgetfirst)))
         (and (princ "\nSelect Entites To Change To Layer 0")
              (setq ss (ssget "_:L"))
              )
         )
   (command "_.LAYER" "_UNlock" "0" "_Thaw" "0" "_ON" "0" "_Set" "0" ""
          "_.CHPROP" ss "" "_LA" "0" "")
 )
 (princ)
)

Thanks so much for this! Sometimes the littlest things just drive me mad and eat my time. Thanks for this.
