copy layer (bycolor to color)

[Willie Wilbers]

Hi,

I am looking for a lisp routine that will copy the current display, (consisting of more than one layer) from a base point, to somewhere else in the drawing and to a temporary new layer. It should get the bylayer color and change the copied objects to the bylayer color.

The reason for this is that we use a lisp routine that creates a freehand effect. I usually copy one or two layers at a time, change the color from bylayer, and then execute the lisp file. Then I copy the “freehand” layers (as a block) back to its original location as an overlay.

I use a block because it easy to delete and most of the time the drawing must be changed, and the whole process start over again.

Thanks
Willie Wilbers
