    We just recived a dwaring back from one of our contractors, and they
    have renamed all our layers by adding "0379-006" (the job #) to the
    start of all the names.. then added their own layers..

    I need to find all the "changed" layers and remove the "0379-006"..

    I did a qick seach and found a few ideas.. but none specific to this
    situation...

    TIA.

    (btw, this lisp only needs to run in one drawing.. if that matters)

    Just get a list of all the layers in the drawing, then foreach item in the list, see if it has a prefix of "0379-006", if so then pass it to the rename command, and remove the "0379-006" from the layer name. I don't think it will be to hard to write.

    why not just use RENAME/Layers and use 0379-006* for a layer name and * for
    a replacement name. Works here in 2005. Quick and dirty :)

    Dave,

    Nice. Worked in A2K4 also, never thought of doing that.

    after 14 years of sitting in front of this monitor running Acad I find that
    easy is good :)
