Make sure the second column for colour is text only to avoid any true colours being converted into numbers. This is in the order, layer name, colour, linetype. Now we are ready to input some data into the first three columns.
Then place “-LAYER” in the 4th column over. (Note this is not my concept but I cannot find the original page where this was proposed). Below I will go through the steps you need to do to get this to work. You can use Excels powerful cell commands to convert your layer list to a format that will then be able to create a script file. The problem then comes of getting these layers into AutoCAD? There are numerous Lisp programs around on the internet to do this but what if you have AutoCAD LT only ( as it lacks programming APIs)? Creating lots of text on mass is really easy to do in Excel so that would be the program of choice to do this task. This would be difficult to do in AutoCAD without resorting to LISP or some programming to insert layers on mass.
