Block not colour of layer

Bas Weinans

Hi,

attached you will find a drawing with a block. This block doesnt get the colour of the layer. How can I set this in such way that the block get the colour of the layer?

you have to put everything in the block on layer 0 and then choose color "by block".

thank you, is there also a manual available of the tool?

I opened in notepad and I noticed that all layers in the block are put into layer 0. However, the block exists of 4 layers and I want 1 layer to be put into layer0.

I suck at programming, is there some who can set it up (that I only need to rename the layers)? It would be really appriciated

thank you for your help. However, am I correct that I need to do this for each block seperately? Because that is a lot of work.

Or is there a way to load all my blocks into one drawing at once?

-edit-

solution below:

use a lisp to import all blocks in one drawing http://www.cadstudio.cz/en/download.asp?file=InsertBlks
use a lisp to nuke and rename : https://forum.bricsys.com/discussion/comment/33932#Comment_33932
use a lisp to export them http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?68946-Exporting-multiple-blocks-in-one-dwg-to-having-them-as-individual-dwgs

if all blocks are in one Drawing, you can use the Option lobal. Than all Blocks will be processed.
If you don't know how to insert a lot of Blocks into your drawing, you can use this attachet tool for inserting a coupple of drawings, which you can select at the frontend
