AUTOLISP Extract Layer Name from each record in the Layer Table

[charlesc32]

Hello

I've been searching feverishly, and I can't find a posting of How to extract a single record from the Layer Table and separate the Layer name for comparison and execution before moving on to the following record and thus next layer name until list is exhausted. I need to merge a list of layers from roughly 200 down to 40. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Try this:

(while (setq lay (tblnext "layer" (not lay)))

  (setq lname (cdr (assoc 2 lay)))

  ( ... do whatever based on the name ... )

); while

Your suggestion worked nicely. I'm able to extract the Layer Name and manipulate as needed.

Thanks for the Help
