Idea: A "Fuzzy Logic" Layer Merger for cleaning up messy vendor DWGs
Dealing with consultant or vendor DWGs is usually a nightmare when it comes to layer management. You open a file and see layers like "WALL", "Wll", "01-Walls", "A-Wall-Full", etc.
What if we built a LISP that uses fuzzy string matching (like Levenshtein distance algorithms) to analyze layer names? You run the script, and it scans the drawing, grouping similar names and maybe even checking color/linetype similarities. Then it prompts you: "Hey, these 5 layers seem to represent the same thing. Want to merge them into one standard layer?"
Instead of manually scrolling through hundreds of layers and doing layer translations, it acts like a smart assistant for file cleanup. Do you guys think this is doable entirely within AutoLISP/Visual LISP, or would it require a .NET plugin to handle the fuzzy matching fast enough?

Idea: A 100% Native AutoCAD QR Code Generator (No more missing image XREFs!)
Hey everyone,
We all know the pain of attaching a QR code to a title block (for project details, URLs, or revision dates), only to have the JPG/PNG go missing because someone along the line forgot to bind the XREF.
I was thinking: what if we had a LISP that takes a string of text and generates a physical QR code using pure AutoCAD geometry? I'm talking about generating native 2D Solids or Polyline Hatches.
No external dependencies, fully embeddable in the DWG, and you can change its color or layer just like any regular CAD object. It scales perfectly without pixelating, too. Has anyone actually written something like this, or would it be too heavy to generate? Thoughts?
