Layer name update lisp

[kameron1967]

Does anyone know of a routine to export the layer names into a CSV file, then from that file, I can add a second column containing the modified layer names and merge the previous layer name with the layer name that follows it.  Example

Drawing1 -> drawing1.csv containing the following layers:

Layer1

Layer2
Layer3

Import modified drawing1.csv file and merge layer1 with layer 1A, etc.

Layer1,Layer1A

Layer2,Layer2A

Layer3,Layer3A

Ideally, I'd like to be able to choose a file based on its file name so I can run it individually or in a batch.

Thanks in advance. 🙂

I think you can probably accomplish this with the layer translator (laytrans)  Layer Translator Help.

You can create a reference file w/ the layer names & properties you want to end up with. Then save a mapping file that translates old layer names to the new names you created and run it in any drawing you need to.

Okay, let me check into that. Thanks Shneuph!
