Rename Layer States
 
 
 

The RenameLayerState method renames a saved layer state from one name to another in a drawing. The following code renames the ColorLinetype layer settings to OldColorLinetype.

VB.NET

Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices
 
<CommandMethod("RenameLayerState")> _
Public Sub RenameLayerState()
  '' Get the current document
  Dim acDoc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
 
  Dim acLyrStMan As LayerStateManager
  acLyrStMan = acDoc.Database.LayerStateManager
 
  Dim sLyrStName As String = "ColorLinetype"
  Dim sLyrStNewName As String = "OldColorLinetype"
 
  If acLyrStMan.HasLayerState(sLyrStName) = True And _
     acLyrStMan.HasLayerState(sLyrStNewName) = False Then
      acLyrStMan.RenameLayerState(sLyrStName, sLyrStNewName)
  End If
End Sub

C#

using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
 
[CommandMethod("RenameLayerState")]
public static void RenameLayerState()
{
  // Get the current document
  Document acDoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
 
  LayerStateManager acLyrStMan;
  acLyrStMan = acDoc.Database.LayerStateManager;
 
  string sLyrStName = "ColorLinetype";
  string sLyrStNewName = "OldColorLinetype";
 
  if (acLyrStMan.HasLayerState(sLyrStName) == true &&
      acLyrStMan.HasLayerState(sLyrStNewName) == false)
  {
      acLyrStMan.RenameLayerState(sLyrStName, sLyrStNewName);
  }
}
