Alteration to layout2dwgs.lsp file

Hi all..

I use this LayoutsToDwgs.lsp lisp file created by a Jimmy Bergmark....

it works brilliantly, so Thank You Jimmy...

However I wished it would copy over the Custom drawing properties I have setup over to the new files it creates from the layout tabs...

does anyhow know I can alter or add this to the lisp file to achieve this?

Thank you Paul, for responding.. but I'm looking for any other solutions out there? preferably one that can alter this lisp file by adding the commands that copies the custom drawing properties over to the new files.

Try this modified version which uses a SAVEAS instead of WBLOCK to maintain the custom drawing properties
