hi

 

what happand when i create a layer that is exist in the database,

should i test for the name? or its being ignored?

 

(defun SG:createLayer  (name color)
 (entmakex (list '(0 . "LAYER")
	  '(100 . "AcDbSymbolTableRecord")
	  '(100 . "AcDbLayerTableRecord")
	  '(70 . 0)
	  (cons 2 name)
	  (cons 62 color)
	  )
    )
 )

The entmakex expression will fail, returning nil.
