matching properties from inside a block

[r_reydlf]

Hi, this is my first question in forums,

I work with many blocks in my drawing and I frequently use match properties command, but when you do match properties from a block you only get the "overall block layer". I would like to be able to pick the layers inside a block when i do the match properties comand. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks

There is not such ability in AutoCAD with the core commands. Sorry.

IOW, you must customize.  AutoLISP allows you to get the properties of nested objects by using the NENTSEL function.  It is best to make most nested block entities have layer=0, and color and linetype set to bylayer or byblock BTW.
