Batch Script

Hi,

Does anyone know of a batch script program?
I need to update title blocs on 200+ drawings and it is taking way too much
time
when done manually. I have a script that works fine, but if I can use batch
scripting, I won't have to sit here and wait.

Any direction is appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

 

Scott,

I had replied to your post on another newsgroup.

Try this:
ftp://ftp.pazarbasi.net/multiscript_1_beta.zip

It is a free beta version of Multiscript.

Try the Migration tools, Script Pro.
If you don't have it you can download it from autodesk.
I use it all the time and it works great.

Look for 'EC-Batch'

And in case you need one more possibility, you can look into our BatchMan utility: http://liftedaxis.com/batchman.html

Autodesk Customization Conversion Tools - Script Tools

Get it in:

My favorite is AutoM8 from www.m8tools.com

Create a new plain text file and call it UPDATE.CMD
Put this text in it:


FOR %%G in (*.DWG) DO "C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2004\acad.exe" %%G /b
c:\update.scr


but of course substitute the correct path and program file name. It may not
even be required, beyond just 'acad.exe', but I haven't checked.

In Windows Explorer, double-click on UPDATE.CMD.
Then, if your working script is called UPDATE.SCR, it will run for each DWG
file in the current directory.

I used this method for changing many title blocks at a previous employer.
I also use it for batch printing or plotting in a dedicated directory called
BatPrint, adding a line at the end of the CMD file sayiing " del *.dwg" to
clean up the directory and be ready for the next batch.
Works great!
