Layer Prefixing?

[Anonymous]

G'day All,

Has anyone got a routine for putting a prefix in front of all
layernames?
For example, adding EX for existing to the front of all layers in a
drawing.

Regards

command: _rename
in the dialog box choose "layer"
old name: *
rename to: ex*

If you want to delete the prefix type this:
old name: ex*
rename to: *

FYI

You can change any prefix by modifying the following line in that
program

color=#008000>'**********************************************
Sub
chlayerprefix()
For Each ent In ThisDrawing.Layers
a = ent.Name
If
ent.Name <> 0 Then

'Old name
"Ex_"           

'ent.Name = "Ex_" & CStr(a)

'New Name "A"
ent.Name =
color=#ff0000>"A" & CStr(a) 
End If
Next ent
End
Sub

color=#008000>'************************************************
