I currently use a tool caled Steamroller, how do I best add a step?

I currently use a tool called Steamroller.lsp

 

I have editited it once to have it ask you before running the operation.

 

So right now you run the tool

You get a prompt to run the tool

It grabs all the Survey Figure Lines, explodes them

Figures become 3D polylines

3D polylines are flattened and become 2D polylines

 

My surveyor would love it if the tool had one more step, so it would run like this:

 

You get a prompt to run the tool

It grabs all the Survey Figure Lines, explodes them

Figures become 3D polylines

**A copy is made of all 3D polylines and moved to LAYER-XXXXX**

3D polylines (the once not copied to new layer) are flattened and become 2D polylines

 

Is this possible?  In the realm of a non programmer to do or will I probably be hiring this out?

That code right there worked as inteded.  It copied my 3D polylines to layer LAYER-XXXXX and then it took the original 3D polylines and turned them into basic polylines.


The code I've posted 'Steamroller-Modified_V1.lsp' should also work as expected.

Thanks for your help. I'll give it a shot in a few drawings and see what
shakes. I think I have enough info to alter it slightly if I see an issue.
