Welcome to these Forums!

This is a question that has come up several times here. A little Searching [of "the Community," not just "this Board"] will reveal a lot of discussion about it.

There are several LSP routines that will do this.

If you don't find one when searching, let me know. I can provide the one that I use.

Hi John. I'd be interested in that .lisp file if you still have it. I like that you can assign dimensions to land on a specified layer, but boy it would be nice to have Leaders and MText and tables land on a set layer as well. Blocks would be a good one too.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Download this one, edit the file for what you want, have it load each session. I use it and it works really well.
