I recently had someone ask me if there was a way to quickly zoom to all objects on a specific layer. I couldn't find any written LISP code as a whole, but found some small pieces here and here that I was able to utilize and make a command to do this.
Load up this lisp, and then run ZOLAYER to pick an object and zoom to the extents of all objects on that layer. Enjoy!
LISP CODE
====================================================================
(defun SALL ()
 (setq TargEnt (car (entsel "\nSelect object on layer to select: ")))
 (setq TargLayer (assoc 8 (entget TargEnt)))
 (sssetfirst nil (ssget "_X" (list TargLayer)))
 (princ)
);defun
(defun ZOE () 
 (if (setq ss1 (ssget "_I"))
  (command "ZOOM" "OBject" ss1 "")
  (command "ZOOM" "Extents")
 );if
);defun
(defun c:ZOlayer ()
 (SALL)
 (command)
 (command)
 (ZOE)
);defun
