Indeed, the PLUGINS-CAD software includes this tool for free.

Purpose: Move all block elements to layer 0

Note: Moves internal block entities to layer 0
Processing mode: DWGs are processed one by one (not all at once).

This tool cleans up the internal structure of your blocks. It opens the DWG, enters each block definition, and forces all internal entities to be on layer 0.
Result: your blocks comply with proper CAD standards (block drawn on layer 0, appearance controlled later by the layer on which the block is inserted).

  1. Opening the DWG

    The software opens the selected DWG for processing.

    Opening the DWG before cleaning blocks
    Loading the DWG to be corrected.
  2. Opening each block

    The software automatically iterates through all blocks in the drawing and opens each one to modify its internal content.

    Automatic traversal of all blocks in the DWG
    Internal inspection block by block.
  3. Moving internal entities to layer 0

    All entities contained inside the block (lines, text, geometry, etc.) are moved to layer 0.
    Goal: obtain clean blocks compatible with standard insertion workflows.

    Moving internal block entities to layer 0
    All elements of the block are assigned to layer “0”.
  4. Saving the DWG

    After all blocks have been corrected, the DWG is saved with the updated layer assignments.
    The tool can then move to the next DWG and repeat the operation.

    Saving the DWG after cleanup
    DWG saved with standardized blocks.
