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?
