search different layers in multiple files and change their values

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

is there a way to set a value(s) color/thickness etc.. for a sertian layer(s) in multiple files , automated , by a lisp or so ?

What type of automation are you comfortable with?

The simplest would be a script file with the appropriate command line inputs to start the LAYER command and cycle through the desired options. With the script file (.scr extension), you could execute it on multiple drawings using ScriptPro.

There are two AutoCAD add-ins that I have been using that will do exactly that with no need for a script. "Batch-in-database" and "Batch-in-editor". They work great and are free.
