AutoCAD - "-LAYER SET - END"

[khvPGX5G]

Hi All

I have an layer "text", to which i would like to change to! 

When inserting "-LAYER S text" in commandline I end up stuck in not being able to close command 

other than two times enter button

Question: What are the "code" to end the current command?

-LAYER S text;;

When you try to do it in the command line, you need to hit ENTER twice. So add ;; to make it in macro.

Or better use 

-LAYER M text;;

M (as Make) option not only set the current layer (as the Set option), but it also creates the layer if it doesn't already exist.

Hi 

I do not want to use macro at this point !

I use excel to copy paste into autocad

A copy paste of that line with ;; are not being accepted by autocad 2020 (see attached)

All what you have to do is just type the exact layer name.

Also can use a new line character (enter)

-layer set text

This also can be done in Excel by Alt+Enter. But then you can't directly copy-paste the code into AutoCAD, you need to use that Notepad to remove the initial and last ", then copy-paste it into AutoCAD.

The "CLAYER TEXT" copy to autocad works perfectly to my need, 

but still is left to how to get out off the -layer command back to main command line (no enter)

Please send this "Unless you're on LT, you can use (setvar 'clayer "text") " so i can accept the solution
this are not 100% perfect but a great help!

this will work as long as you don't have a space in the layer name (include space after 1 at end of line :

EXTNAMES 0 -layer _set text EXTNAMES 1 

Try copy and paste above line into command prompt
