Hello

 

as I have prepared a table with a list of layers name on excel

is it possible to  upload it into Autoacad with an import export function

 

or all layer should be created one by one into the layer property manager?

 

Thanks

The better way to handle this would be to set up a template and create drawing using that. 

 

That said, You could do something similar to what i did in this article.

Create a concat of your layer names and paste it into the command line. 

 

This example creates a bunch of layers after being pasted into the command line

-layer
m Test
m Test1
m Test2
m Test3
m Test4
m Test5
m Test6
m Test7
m Test8
m Test9

It should be noted that sometimes it can be tricky to get it to behave like you want. 

Also it should be noted that the layer command is preceded with a "-" which will call the command line version of the command.
