How can I pass to the AutoCAD command line the laymrg. What I am doing
currently is:

'set a selection set before sending the next line.
ObjAcad.ActiveDocument.SendCommand ("laymrg") & vbCr ' Start the Layer Merge
Express tool
ObjAcad.ActiveDocument.SendCommand ("l") & vbCr ' Select the selection set
passed in before
ObjAcad.ActiveDocument.SendCommand ("oldname") 'Set the old name to merge
from
ObjAcad.ActiveDocument.SendCommand ("newname") 'Set the newname to merge to


This process does not work. When I pass the laymrg to the command line
AutoCAD does not allow me to pass the next line. It only will pass if I
physically type it in.

My goal is to be able to take old layers and convert them to our new company
standards. I know I could probably use the Layer Translator that AutoCAD
provides but for all that I am doing this will not work.

Any Ideas??

It would be easier to create a selection set of all objects on the specified layer, then loop through each object setting the layer property as desired
