V12 DXF/DWG conversion

    Are there any AutoCAD products that would allow me to command line request the conversion of AutoCAD 2005 (or previous) to AutoCAD V12 DXF or DWG. I will stand the loss of geometry that may result.

    I want to watch a folder into which users will place any version AutoCAD files, these would then be converted to V12 DXF or DWG. I can program VB.NET or VB6 to handle the execution.

    I need to get drawings across to a legacy CAD system that will for a number of reasons only accept V12 AutoCAD data. I have seen a third party convertor (DWGDXFConvertor) but would prefer an Autodesk product to ensure that we stay current on new releases.

    Any advice? P.S. I am not a 2005 AutoCAD user, we do have the software. I use inventor as my core CAD product.

    Cheers in advance.
    Phil.

    hi

    not beautiful, but it works:

    you can use a simple script or with vba thisdrawing.sendcommand with
    following commands:

    1) turn off question of file-dialogs: _filedia 0
    2) start saveas with options: _saveas _dxf _version _r12 6
    ...more options like select entities, give new filename, ....
    last) change back _filedia to previous value
