Automation of drawing

[jobinpaul1995]

Hi 

I would like. To know that can I hide layer through programming. I have drawn different object in each layer. Depending on the the user requirement I need to hide rest of the layers. Can I do it automatically.

LAYERSTATE command not working for this task of yours?

Hi

I can do that manually. I am looking for an automation,where I have excel database,which refers to what layers have to be turned on and off depending upon user interface. So is there any option/references to do the same. 

Thanks

You could use excel to write a script of the layer requirements give the script a name etc 

-layer
off *trees
on Bld*
and so on
