download a copy of ScriptPro, it's an autodesk released product (no longer updated), but still on their website. it will allow you to select as many drawings as you like, select a .scr file and it will process everything for you. the other nice thing about .scr files is, you can just load some lsp code and it will process it just the same. once in a while, i still run scriptpro to batch several drawings.

 

save this as a .scr file and have scriptpro run it on the drawings you wish to edit:

(foreach x (list "A-FP01-296000100.dwg"
                "A-FP01-basea-296000100.dwg"
                "A-FP01-baseb-296000100.dwg"
                "G-TBE-VR-.dwg"
          ) ;_ list
 (cond
   ((wcmatch x "A-*") (setvar "tilemode" 1))
   ((wcmatch x "G-*") (setvar "tilemode" 0))
 ) ;_ cond
 (and (findfile x)
      (command "_.-xref" "_attach" x '(0 0 0) 1 1 0)
 ) ;_ and
) ;_ foreach
(command "_.qsave")

what about the layer? right now they will just placed on the current layer.
