Macro to Create Layers and Place Text in the Layers

[Anonymous]

We use AutoCad to name our dxf files for our Burn Table and whenever we get a new part it is a repetitive task to input layers and common text.  So what I am curious is can AutoCAD input the layers and text automatically using a Macro?  Thank you for your help.

I want the Macro to put in 6 layers and choose the layer color and title then input text boxes with word in 3 different layers.  There will be about a total of 10 different text boxes with text already put in the boxes by the Macro.

If you just insert a template or a wblock with those layers it would probably work and no need a macro.

With what you said how do I make it so that when I open a dxf file it automatically opens the template background in AutoCAD or lets me choose what template I want in the background?  Thank you for your help.

DDINSERT command and find the drawing that already have layers and texts that you used before.

Thank you Patchy this is getting closer to what I want.  Is there anyway to put these in without them coming in as a block?  Other then that it is perfect I just do not know how our Burn Software will read in the block.  It is worth a shot to try it tomorrow but it will be different then all the files that we just updated and I would like to keep all formats the same if we can.

It always comes in as a block, use EXPLODE command on the block.

Thank you.  Now I have all the steps.  This will save us a ton of time whenever we get new parts in.
