change layer

[windowsxp5]

is this possible"multiple layers changing in to one layer without changing color in one selection".(example; in my dwg there are 10 layers, all colored by layer. i want to change those object to one layer but i want to keep the same color)
thanks in advance

The only way I know to this act ... :shock: ... is to open the DWG file in MicorStation. Then MicroStation converts the DWG file to a DGN file. While in MicroStation ... you change al elements to one level (layer) .... now export the file back to a DWG.

Everything should now be on 1 layer but the colors should remain the same.

:? But translated files spell bad news if you use it .. although some say I'm too cautious ... :evil:

Sorry if that didn't help.

Hi,

I think it's possible with lisp, but I do not know how :cry: :( :cry:

I have only a lisp which helps You to change the color of the layer. Are You interesting??

becaue my survery drawing has 100s of layers..wn i print it in paper i print in color.so i can identify the objects on paper. i want to make this dwg as a background. i cant use xref,becaue its going to GIS system.
