Without exploding a block, is there a line of code I can put into my background process to change all lines IN all blocks to "by layer"?

I'm sorry, Scott. I don't think there is any way to do what you want to do without the availability of programming languages such as AutoLisp or VBA, etc. I guess that's why they charge a fortune for the full version.

Steve, your description sounds like the result that I want, but unfortunately I'm in LT07. I would like to add this functionality to my existing scr. Our procedure is to take the architect backgrounds, purge, change all layers to color 8 and save. But when a line inside the block is set to a specific color, that overides what the block layer color is.

Here is our scr, one of our other cad guys wrote most of it, I've added a few things to it too.

Scott

This one should just do lines.

OOPS !! I forgot to change the program name within the lisp file. This one will match the program name to the file name, so it makes more sense.

Bill,
The attached file should come close to proving you wrong. The only problem is, I think it will change all entities within the block to bylayer. I'm hoping that is what the requester really wanted, but I'm afraid he may have only wanted to change LINE entities, in which case the routine will need to be revised. I don't think I'm going to have time to do anything more with it, however.

I don't think so. Without exploding the block upon insertion (use "*BLOCKNAME"), there isn't a way to manipulate the block at all.

I'd love it if someone proves me wrong though!

Regards,
Bill
