CHANGING PROPERTIES to MULTIPLE DWGs

[bighappy11]

I need to change a layer propery (lineweight/linetype) to a drawing database (over 100 cad drawings). How would you consider in going about this? Any ideas....

I am not sure in your version. What happens if you type in _LAYTRANS ?

bighappy11,
maybe borgunits tip is better, but I don't know, how to use it in a batch. Look into the help.
Solution via script:
Download Autodesk Customization Conversion Tools -> make a script file like

_.-layer
_color
<yourcolor>
<yourlayername>
_ltype
<yourlinetype>
<yourlayername>

_.qsave

-> run it with ScriptPro

If the linetype and weight belongs to an external reference which these 100 drawings use, then make the change into that "child" drawing and any host file that you open will automatically incorporate that change.
