changing all text of 1 layer to another

[Acad_2010_user_NL]

Hi,

 

I want to change all text of a layer to a layer with -text

for example if i have some text in layer 1 then i want it in layer 1-text and text of layer 2 in layer 2-text.

I want to use it in a script file so i need a command i can use for it, does a command like that exists?

 

thx

dear

use filter command

[Acad_2010_user_NL]

I dont whant to use filter because you get a screen and i want to let the script run from start to finish without doing anything

so is there another solution ?

 

thx

Would it not be easier to just freeze everything excluding the current layer (layer 1) select the objects showing and then place them onto the desired layer (1-text)

 

I know there is a LISP that will move all text onto a desired layer but i guess thats not really what your looking for

You can use this, but don't forget to add your desire Layer Name.

 

(sssetfirst nil (ssget "_x" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(8 . "YourLayerName"))))

Use it in the Command Line of Autocad.

[Acad_2010_user_NL]

(sssetfirst nil (ssget "_x" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(8 . "level 1"))))

 

i entered this but it doesn't do anything what im doing wrong ???

[Acad_2010_user_NL]

if i do this: (sssetfirst nil (ssget "_x" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(8 . "level 1-text"))))

 

it doesn't work either

[Tharwat]

(sssetfirst nil (ssget "_x" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(8 . "level 1"))))

The space that you have between level.....1

[Acad_2010_user_NL]

but that is the layer name

[Tharwat]

but that is the layer name

 

But Layer name do not except spaces within right?

[Acad_2010_user_NL]

my layers does have spaces here is a picture of my layer manager

[Tharwat]

OK.

I am sorry Layer name nowadays accept space within .

 

Anyway I tried it in mine and it does work also with space, like this :

(sssetfirst nil(ssget "_x" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(8 . "Layer 1"))))

 

So copy it, and change Layer name only .

[Acad_2010_user_NL]

doesnt work either ...

this was my input: (sssetfirst nil(ssget "_x" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(8 . "Layer 4"))))

this was in command line:

(sssetfirst nil(ssget "_x" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(8 . "Layer 4"))))

(nil nil)

[Tharwat]

It is nil , Because you do not have texts under the Layer name.

 

Get sure first, and retry once again.

[Acad_2010_user_NL]

i have 23 texts in that layer

[Tharwat]

doesnt work either ...

this was my input: (sssetfirst nil(ssget "_x" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(8 . "Layer 4"))))

this was in command line:

(sssetfirst nil(ssget "_x" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT")(8 . "Layer 4"))))

(nil nil)

 

You wrote the name of the Layer wrong (Layer 4) it should be (Level 4) Right ?:wink:
