LISP to change only plotstyle of all blocks to bylayer

Nathan_Tigner — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 14:20:50 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I have lisps that will change a block to by layer and layer 0, and I know about the setbylayer command which let's you control what properties you want to change to bylayer.

What I need is a lisp to change the plot style of all the blocks in a drawing, to bylayer. But only the plot style.

I want to leave layers, colors, lineweights and transparency alone and only change the plot style and I need to be able to do it for every block in a drawing.

I looked everywhere for a lisp that would do that but I can't find one. Does anyone know of one or know how to create one?

Thanks in advance!
