kam1967 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi guys, Has anyone seen a routine that combines items from multiple layers and putting them into one? For instance, transferring entities from EXISTINGLAYER1, EXISTINGLAYER2 and EXISTINGLAYER3 into a new NEWLAYER1. I would appreciate any insight. Thanks!

kam1967 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks, SLW210. I tried that command laymrg. It looks like it's possible only if all the layers already exists in the drawing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharwat Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Since the entity is already existed in a drawing , that means it should have a layer name . Is not it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be able to create a Macro or script that would create a layer first then laymrg and prompt for selection. Since the entity is already existed in a drawing , that means it should have a layer name . Is not it ? After rereading, I believe he wants to place several existing layers onto a new layer.

kam1967 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks, Alanjt. I want to be able to do this through a command line (more like a script fashion) in that it does not need user interaction. If I have a large scale layers to work with, your idea would be the one I'd go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam1967 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I went with the old routine that I had and modified it to do what I need it to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
