OK, this is the problem: I want to draw some temperary lines in the layer "temp". I have made this: (setq cl(getvar"clayer"))^M;^C^C-layer;make;temp;;_xline;h;(setvar "clayer" cl)^M; the problem is that the first xline I make is indeed in the layer "temp" but the second, thirt, etc. are in my curent layer again. Can anyone help me improve?
