Expert: - 8/5/2007


Question
I am trying to create a lisp routine that I can turn off a group of mutiple layers with only 2 key strokes.  

Answer
sorry, I've been on vacation.
you need to use notepad or similar and save the routine to a file with a .lsp extension.
it will look something like this:
(defun c:aa ()
(command "layer" "off" "your layername here" "")
)
you can add to the layer off part repeatedly, as if you were typing in the commands at the command line..

I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!
