I've used that code by Peter since he posted it on AUGI. As it modifies the block definition it modifies every insertion of that block in your drawing. It works pretty fast and modifying them one at a time allows you to see the results every time you use it. Many block definitions need those various colors, linetypes, lineweights, etc… You wouldn't want to modify every block definition in your drawing like that.

Would it be possible to upload your block? Your block holds the key so it must be evaluated. 

If you want to manage your block’s line color and line weight on a ByLayer basis then your block is more import than the lisp.

You uploaded the entire drawing. You didn't mention which block you wanted to change. Here's an example showing How to Manage a Block in the Properties Palette Using ByLayer.  

It's best if you perform this operation by taking your block to the Block Editor. You'll need to perform the changes in the block editor for each individual block. Make sure you save your changes when you exit the block editor. 

1. Select an individual block=Right click=>Block Editor

2. Select ALL lines=>Make ALL the changes=>Exit the Block Editor=>Save changes when exiting.

i upload the entire drawing because 80% of the drawing is blocks, and i need change them all to by layer (color, linetype, and lineweight) at one time, not one by one coz it wasting time

Hello @FAJARNAZM123 

Please try the lisp attached(Credits to the creator). It sets the layers inside the block to layer "0". This should help you 🙂

Huh?! Waste time. You need to INVEST some time to learn how! 

Have you tired using pen assignments? If you can't answer then the whole Forum will know you are ignoring the question.

The pen assignments in above examples take less than 3 minutes. And that's 3 minutes well spent.
