How to remove an element from a list

[LauKwokFai]

I am trying to change all the objects color to "bylayer" within a block, this means I have to eliminate the assoc code 62 from the list, I tried (vl-remove), it does return the list I need, but I don't know how to apply this new list on the object. Could someone help ?!

 

Thanks so much

Please check the ENTMOD function. I don't think removing the list would work; please consider to set the code DXF 62 to 0 (ByLayer) instead.

thank you for the reply, I can set DXF 62 to 0 which is "byblock"...I just wonder if I can put that to "bylayer". Because the next step is to copy the block to another layer, and I need the object color is "bylayer"

great ! thank you very much !!!

I would go with append function in this case .

 

(entmod (append (entget _ssname) '((62 . 256))))
