[liambarham]

Hello,

Im after a simple script that i can run to turn off my DESC layer in all my drawings or any other layer for that matter.

Look under  "Projects" ->"Project (Wide)  -> Utilities -> "For each drawing" there is a check box to "Run command script file" .  <You can create a simple script to turn off layers prior to this and select it using this method..  Once you have located your .scr file, click "OK" and  you can batch process some or all dwgs in your project.

You should also create another script file to turn layers back on if needed, for which the same process is used.

This should put you in the right direction.

Hope this helps!

This is a sample of what you would type in notepad and save as a script e.g. FREEZE LAYER DESC.SCR 

It makes layer 0 the current layer first to prevent errors incase DESC is current layer in a drawing and can't be frozen.
