Hi,

I am trying to use the script "RENAME LAYER" but I want it to do more than one layer at a time. I have a list that I want to look for and change. It works fine till i get to a layers that does not already exist. how can I have it skip that layer and look for the next one on my list? I have attached a shortend version of my my script below.

;Rename a BLOCK.

_RENAME
_LAYER
;THE NEXT LINE IS THE LAYER NAME TO REPLACE

Great !! I'm glad it worked for you. I get so much help from this and other AutoCAD related forums that it feels good to be able to actually provide some help to someone else once in a while.

sbubendorf,

great thanks it worked perfect. I added all of my layers in the format you had for the lisp file and everything worked perfect.

Thanks, Shaun

Shaun,
Try renaming the attached file with a lsp extension rather than zip extension. Backup your drawings. Place the renamelayers.lsp file in your autocad path or the same folder as your drawings. Create a two line script as follows:
(load "renamelayers")
renamelayers

Run the script. Hopefully it will work based on the layer names in the script you provided. (If I didn't mistype something.) Let me know if it works or not. If it doesn't, it should be something like a typo that I can fix, if you will let me know. (You can open up the file with a text editor, to see what it is doing. Basically, I just used Lisp to search the drawing for the old layer name. If it exists, then it processes the rename command.)
