What Others Say about LayerTrans:
"The Layer Checker and Translator software has been a great tool in translating files from an old layer system to our new system. I recently translated one 20 floor building that would have taken at least a 20-25 hours to change all the layer names and colors. With this software, I was able to set it up in about 15 to 20 minutes and run each of the 20 or so files in about 1 minute each."
