Layer Color Routine

[Tim]

Has anybody written or does anyone already have a routine that they would be willing to share that does the following;

Pick entitites, ask for layer color by name or number and then change the layer color of selected entitites to said color. Which in turn will obviously also change all the effected entities on said layer whether they are bylayer or have had a color set....anything like that out there..

Thanks

Tim

LAYER and PROPERTIES commands? Set objects to color BYLAYER, then set Layer color to whatever color it is you want.
