lisp or script to process a batch of drawings

Hi Guys,

I need to process about 3000 3d .dwg files as follows:

set the BASE varible to 0,0,0.

scale everything in the drawings from metric to english units (scale
factor: 1/25.4 or .03937). Base point for scaling would be 0,0,0.

What is the best way to go about this? I do not have much lisp
experience.

Thank You,

Chris

 

You might want to save at the end too.

I really need to 'market' my VB.net application I wrote that creates plotting
and custom script files.

I can send plot file directly to any network printer, write custom script, (we
also use it to create PLT files to import into our ReproDesk app for
plotting)... etc.

Allows you to select any number of files... add to that or remove files.

Allows you (if you want) to write common 'script' lines... this gets applied
to each selected file.

It's a bit 'tweaked' for my company and what we do. Would be nice to make it
sort of general for all.

Oh well... in your case, manually creating script files is probably the way to
go for now.

Thanks...I installed the migration tools and will try ScriptPro...

 

Is there a way to take the BASE command value and use it to move the
items to 0,0,0 before redefining the BASE value?

these blocks were written out of a large drawing and I'd like each
file to be set with a common point at 0,0,0.

Thanks,

Chris
