Help to Modify Linexp.lsp to keep Layer, Color, line weight and Line Type

[Anonymous]

Hi again Family 🙂

I need some help with the Linexp.lsp. when exploded, It changes the custom Lines to color White and changes line weight to 0.00.

Is there a way to retain the original types when using Linexp.lsp?

The Line that i Linexp should stay at: Misc Layer, color bylayer, lineweight bylayer and Linetype name is GUY_CABLE.

Thank you sooooo much for any help if possible 🙂

Thank you everyone! I was able to convert macro to Lsp routine. Everything works perfectly thanks to everyone here giving me the support I needed 😊👍

@Anonymous  hi,

i still think that transfering the shape (shx) file is the better solution. cause the way you handle it force you to 'demage' your drawing which i want to believe you do not want to?!

i agree but the customer has express no interest in accepting the shape file 😞

I was able create a macro that piggybacks off the original Linexp command to set all properties as they should be after exploding is done.

here's the lisp routine:

(DEFUN C:xx ()
(C:linexp)
(COMMAND "_CHPROP" "previous" "" "P" "C" "BYLAYER" "LA" "MISC" "LT" "CONTINUOUS" "LW" "BYLAYER" "")
(PRINC)
)

@Anonymous ,

just thought you might be intersted in this:

AutoCAD has a beautiful command (long time ago) called SETBYLAYER, it sets everything (or only selected objects) to be bylayer - try it 😀
