    Is there a routine that will identify an object's color, linetype,
    lineweight even tho they are "bylayer"? It's a pain to have to go to the
    layer dialog. Also a pain when trying to replicate a color
    programmatically. I've started one, but hate to rebuild a pyramid if
    it's already out there.

    (setq color
    (cdr(assoc 62
    (entget(tblobjname "layer"
    (cdr(assoc 8(entget(car(entsel))))))))))

    or

    (setq color(vla-get-color
    (vla-item
    (vla-get-layers(vla-get-activedocument(vlax-get-acad-object)))
    (vla-get-layer(vlax-ename->vla-object(car(entsel)))))))
