    I am wanting to process several hundred drawings files by :
    Opening each file
    Thaw and Turn on all layers (not really necessary)
    Zoom to Extents
    Close drawing.

    Has anybody else had to perform this type of operation,
    and if so how did you achieve it.

    Any help appreciated.
    Regards

    The best way is by creating a script file. Either you can create a script with a repeating sequence (ex. OPEN XXX.DWG -LAYER ON * THAW * ZOOM EXTENTS QSAVE CLOSE OPEN XXX.DWG -LAYER ... SO ON AND SO ON). Or you can create one line and have a batch file execute the script on each dwg. *Requires Autocad to be placed into SDI mode. (ex. -LAYER ON * THAW * ZOOM EXTENTS QSAVE QUIT).

    I will post two zoom-ext files in the customer files section along with an explanation on how to use them.
