We have a block with all of our layers in it in our template files. Then we
do an xclip of the block so that it is cut out of the drawing. The block
reference remains, and can't be purged, but you will never see the block
unless you do an xclip/select all/delete clipping boundries. The average CAD
monkey here has no idea that the block is even there.

We don't have a "list" of layer standards, rather we have templates set up
that hold all of our layers and linetypes. These prototypes are used
whenever a new .dwg is started, bringing in everything you need for that
.dwg.
We are a civil firm and have a large batch of prototypes. For instance, a
subdiv, topo, bndry, storm, erosion, storm, planprofiles, detailsetc........
This has worked well for us.
I know this does not answer OP question, but gives another way at looking at
his problem.

We have had some issues in the office when it comes to training new
employees to use our CAD standards. I would like to know if there is a lisp
program or other routine out there somewhere that can export your layer
standards to a text or spreadsheet file that would include layer names,
descriptions, colors, linetypes, etc. for a handheld hard copy of the
standards to keep for reference and for training purposes. Any suggestions?
We used a lisp program called "GetLayer2K" but it does not work properly.
thanks
