Is there a way to change multiple entities material setting to By Layer at once?

Edit: I ended up using match to match an entity that had it's material set to By Layer. If their is not a direct option to do this that I missed maybe S9 By Layer could be added?

You would assign the material to the layer, either through the Layer Manager or via the View/Rendering/Assign Materials dialog. If the objects on that layer already have a material assigned "by entity," use the Change/More/Material command, select "None" and then choose the objects. DataCAD will remove the individual entity material assignments, and use the layer assignment instead.

Hmmm I swear the <none> option wasn't there when I was looking at the material list before, but I see it now, thanks Mark.
