Cad64 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 If there's nothing on the layers, you could use the PURGE command to get rid of them. By the way, I renamed your thread title to something more descriptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 If there are things referencing the layers you want to kill, and you don't want to take the time to physically move then, then you can use LAYMRG to "Merge" the entities on the offending layer onto another layer. LAYMRG will delete the specified source layer after forcing the entities to the specified target layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addysmith97 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Well, You can add, delete and rename layers and change their properties with the help of layer properties. Deletes selected layers. The following layers cannot be deleted: Layers 0 and Defpoints Layers containing objects, including objects in block definitions The current layer Layers used in an external reference Layers in a partially opened drawing (Not applicable to AutoCAD LT.) And also be careful about deleting layers if you are working on a drawing in a shared project or one based on a set of layering standards.
