    Is it possible to define a command in acad.pgp to start a Windows app (like
    the Batch Drawing Converter)?

    I can't get this to work:

    BDC, START "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Migration Tools\DwgCvt.exe", 1,,

    Thanks,
    Jim Shipley

    Look up "Start" in the help (acad_dev.chm)
    or
    Define External Commands
    It gives you the key info you need in the pgp file.

    My suggestion would be to do it with lisp (and put it in your acaddoc.lsp or
    an .mnl or in a toolbar button

    (defun c:bdc ()
    (startapp "c:/Program Files/Autodesk/Migration Tools/DwgCvt.exe")
    )
