    We are in the middle of a project that will require us to create copies of around 4000 parts drawings with slightly different file names from the originals.
    Can this be done in a script?

    TIA

    Bill,

    Could you just set up a routine to run(vl-file-copy ? If the name is only going to be change by a certain variable in all the old names to a new variable in the new names, I would think it would work for you.

    The simple answer is yes.

    The scriptlines would be:
    _saveas
    "filedir/newfilename"

    Can also use a loop like Tim suggests.

    Thanks,
    I wasn't sure if saveas would kill the script or not.

    I could vl-file-copy but I have to make other fixes in the new drawings anyway.
