Select Block or Xref and freeze off layer control

[rcb007]

I am having a hard time trying to create a routine that would allow the user to select a block or xref and apply layer control to it.

For example, If I have several xrefs within a dwg, I want layers *1, *5, *10, *15 frozen and off.

Getting this to work with all -xrefs, I can do, but having the layer filter applied to selected objects, I am having trouble.

Thank you for the guidance.

If you are selecting a block, then it seems you want to freeze the layers in current drawing. Thus you don't need to select anything, just freeze the layers? Blocks use current drawing layers, xrefs have separate layers.

Thanks for pointing that out. It was missing the astriks (*) a wildcard in front of the layer name. That way, i would think it could select a block and the xref name.
