Layer Off by Selection routine

I know Express Tools has a layer off command but it only works on one layer at a time. Does anyone have a routine to turn layers off by selection?

Thanks, Bill

 

[OffLayPk]*^C^C^P-LAYER OF (cdr (assoc 8 (entget (car (entsel "Select Item
on Layer to turn OFF: "))))) ^P\;

It only does "one at a time," but instantly when you pick an object on it,
and it recalls itself as long as you want to keep going. Invoke it, and
start picking on things, and their layers are turned off. (You can do
freeze and lock and unlock versions too, by changing the "OF" in there, and
adjusting the prompt accordingly.)

[Wrap it back into one line if the newsgroup system breaks it.]

 

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I have also started to use the Isolate Object's Layer more. Just select what you want to remain and everything else is turned off.

The "-layer" command can do that. Type or put in button

-layer
off
<enter for select objects>

you can then select by any means you want, when your done selecting, press
enter and they will vanish.
