Read-write property

Public Property Layer As String

If you don't specify a layer, the current active layer is used for a new entity. If a layer is specified for an entity, the current active layer is ignored. Each layer has associated properties that can be set and queried through the Layer object.

Private Sub LayerpropertyExample()
'This example returns the Layer property.

     Dim ents As Object

     Dim ent As Object

     Set ents = ActiveDocument.ModelSpace

     Set ent = ents.Item(ents.Count - 1)

     MsgBox "The Layer property for the last entity is: " & ent.Layer
