    I know little to nothing about AutoLisp programing.

    I have a set of block drawings (234 of them) I got from a 3rd party. These are simple drawings and have been produced with varying layers.

    What I want is a Lisp (or script?) routine that will 1)open each drawing in a specific folder; 2)change everything in that drawing to layer 0; 3)Zoom Extents; 4)save the drawing (the original name will be fine); and 4)close the drawing.

    Do any of you know where I might find a routine of this kind or would one of you Lisp gurus be interested in writing one?

    No need for lisp, what's required is a script running plain Acad commands.
    You'll need a tool like ScriptPro, which was included with the A2K migration

    AutoM8 from www.m8tools.com will easily do that.

    I've got something for you.
    It's VBA. If you're interested, let me know and I'll post it.

    I was writting something for this also in vba, just to do it in vba, but I have hit some snags. I have gotten help from the vba forum, but if you don't mind posting your, I would love to learn from it.

    Thanks.
