I am in search of a add on program or a lisp that I can change an architects layers to the layers we use. I know layer translation command is available but every time I have to select what the layers translate to. It would be nice if there was a way to add the new architect layers into a database so when we run the lisp or program the layers will automatically change to our layers we use.
Are the layer names different every time? If not you could look at saving a drawing standards file (DWS) for layer translate.
Yes the layer names of the architects prints are always different. But some are the same so if I get a list started so at one point all the layers that are in there should be able to translated.
