Rename layer stb plot styles with another set of stb plot styles

[Anonymous]

I wrote a scr file which enables me to rename plotstyles, but if the plot style does not exist, it interrupts the rest of the script file and i only know how to modify existing lisp routines.

can anyone direct me or give me some tips as to how to write a short lisp routine that can help me accomplish this task?


Thank you in advance,

Connie

Command: -rename
Enter object type to rename
[Block/Dimstyle/LAyer/LType/Plotstyle/textStyle/Tablestyle/Ucs/VIew/VPort]: p
Enter old plot style name: Solid_10
Old plot style Solid_10 not found.

Enter old plot style name: Solid_047

Old plot style Solid_047 not found.

Enter old plot style name: -rename

Old plot style -rename not found.

Try this Lisp approach. (attached, untested)

Bob,


the lisp did not work, but thank you for your assistance.

Connie3000,
The Lisp works. You will need to 'insert' a template
drawing.. with the 'new' plot-styles defined. Or import
them. That will add them to the table of plotstyles..
Then, you can run the attached lisp.. to rename them.

Second thought.
That doesn't work.
If you have a plotstyle named "Light" and want to rename
it as "Dark" .... Acad complains that it cannot find "Dark"
in the plotstyle dictionary. DAH
If you have a plotstyle named "Dark", and try to rename
"Light" to "Dark" ... Acad complains that "Dark" exists
already. DAH
Then why in the heck does the Rename.. have an option
for renaming PlotStyle ?????????
Go figure.
