LAYDEL vs LAYMRG

So your trying to delete a layer but there are objects on that layer, well most of you know you can simply type in LAYDEL select an object on that layer and get rid of that layer and anything on it.

Well you might just find LAYMRG a little faster. Simply put this will merge a selected layer onto another layer, and the layer you selected to merge into the target layer is deleted. Autocad will even give you a nice little warning, about what you are going to do.
