import several dxf tiles at the same time

Hello,
I need to gather several individual .dxf tiles (that are georeferenced) in one .dxf file.
I would like to know if there is a faster way than copy / paste to 0,0 coordonates for each .dxf tile into the .dxf file.
Does anyone get some hints?
Thanks.
Cheers

It might be possible to import them as blocks (File->Import->Block), however that depends on:
   1. Having common origins in all the files as the origin becomes the reference point for the inserted the drawing (similar to copy & paste).  It is possible to work around that if you can adjust your placement when inserting.
   2. All the layers of the inserted file will be added and that can create a problem (but, that might be a problem if you were to copy & paste too).  It would be better to move everything in the drawing-to-be-inserted to layer 0.  Each inserted drawing can be placed in its own layer in the consolidated drawing.

Thanks Gary for the reply. I tried for 5 tiles and it worked fine.

I managed to copy and paster all layers to layer 0 but is there a quick way to delete several layers at the same time? Do I need to delete individually each layer?

If you are using the LC 2.2.0 branch, yes.  Multiple layers can be selected by using [Ctrl]-[Left Click] to select non-contiguous layers or [Shift]-[Left Click] to select contiguous layers, and then click the layer delete button.  If you are using an older version, then no...

Another suggestion that may help you - Select all entities in a drawing with [Ctrl]-[A] and then use Tools->Modify->Attributes and change the Layer to "layer 0".  It is a little simpler than using C&P...

Thanks for the hints. I tried with [Ctrl] but with my LC is 2.1.3. So it failed.

Modify entitites to layer 0 worked perfectly thanks :)
