Create a batch command?

How would I go about creating a batch command that i could run on a folder
or set of folders which would open each drawing in the folder, run a command
(lfd - Layer Filter Delete), save the drawing, and move to the next one?

We donot use layer filters much at all and we've noticed that all of our
drawing have somewhere between 500 to 1000 layer filters in them. If we
delete they decrease the file size by as much as half!

Thanks,
Chris

 

look into ScriptPro

 

Example .bat file that opens every drawing (in the folder that the .bat resides) and runs the script using the /b command switch. You'll have to do a little tweaking to suite your needs, but it isn't that involved at all.

Code:

FOR %%V IN (*.DWG) DO START /W "c" "C:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005\acad.exe" %%V /nologo /c "Z:\Configs" /b "Z:\Scripts\Purge.scr"

 

I use AutoM8 from www.m8tools.com for this. I just have it run a Layer
Filter Delete routine downloaded from here. AutoM8 opens a single session of
AutoCAD, and then just opens, modifies, and saves all the drawings in
whatever folders I want - highly recommended.
