igesin script

Can someonehelp me automate the IGESIN command ?

I have 100's of iges files I need to import into a drawing.

I'd love to be able to use a script

-igesin

c:\test.igs

0,0

( like the one above, import c:\test.igs onto co-ords 0,0 )

This doesn't work obviously, however does anyone know of a way of importing the file via code ? I can then write a loop to import all the files

Many Thanks

anyone have any ideas ?

I use the following to insert a special block at a selected point:

(COMMAND "INSERT" "C:/Steve/ACADstuffs/LISP/AutoLisp/tb08.DWG" pt1 "" "" "180")

I'm not familiar with iges files, or if this will work at all for you, but you might give this a try on the chance something good might happen:

(COMMAND "INSERT" "c:/test.igs" "0,0" "" "" "0")

Be sure the path to your iges file is correct. If you paste it to your command line and it works, you should be able to use it as a macro or something.

Good luck,

Steve

thanks for the suggestion but alas it dont work

looks like if it aint dwg or dxf it dont like it.

Sorry about that.

I knew it was long shot, but it's the only thing I have that inserts something into a drawing, and I figured trying something was better than doing nothing.

Hopefully, someone will have an answer for you.
