Is there a lisp routine that will maintain the linetypes after you've
changed the objects to layer 0?
Let me explain: We receive a lot of architectural files and I need to
temporarily import the objects into my drawings. I don't like to bring in
all of their layers and generally change the objects from the original layer
to layer 0. However, when I do this the linetypes are "By Layer" and all
change to Continuous. I'd like to maintain the linetype from it's original
layer state after I place them into layer 0.
Thanks for any help.

Try GO-0.LSP from
http://www.turvill.com/t2/free_stuff
It moves everything in a drawing to Layer 0 while retaining all assigned
colors and linetypes, whether originally set explicitly or bylayer.

Thanks for the link Paul.
Unforntunately, I'm using Acad 2000 and the routine gets an error somewhere
in the first part of setting up the layers. Do you have a version for 2000?
I'm not too good with lisp and don't know how to tweak the code.
Thanks,

Actually, the lisp routine had a variable in the wrong spot.... I can send
the 'fixed' one to you if you like... but it does not retain linetypes...
only colors.
If you wanna do it yourself find the line that reads: (third line of the
actual program):
"._layer" "_S" "0" "_T" "0" "_c" _conorm "0" "_f" "~0" ""
and change it to this:
"._layer" "_S" "0" "_T" "0" "_c" "8" _conorm "_f" "~0" ""

Thanks Casey.
I replaced the line you gave and it worked as you said - only colors. Is
there a way to add the linetype variable in there?

My apologies, guys ... I thought I had uploaded the latest version of GO-0
to the site. Here's an updated one that works in A2K+ *and* handles
linetypes.
