To Do common task all drawings

Dear friends,

We need a function (USING VLISP), to ask us to select drawings and it will open one by one and do some small task (Say write some text in the some co-ordinate) and save this modification in all selected drawings.

Please help.

Yours,

Muthu

If you know about scripts its pretty easy. If you want wis bang then you need two steps a program that allows multiple file picks and then say just writes the script and then runs it.

You can write in lisp or vlisp can not find an example just right now pretty sure its "findfile" will post tomorrow it calls the standard windows explorer and allows you to pick a file hence can make a list of dwg's and then in turn write a script and run automatically. Just set up loop and repeat pick as required.

Search open file in lisp help, examples are there.

You write a script such as

open dwg1 (load "myprog") close y

open dwg2 (load "myprog") close y

open dwg3 (load "myprog") close y

Found this here you need something like this

(setq fileName "*.dwg")

(setq ansfile (findfile fileName))

Funny I had similar question in mind, more like : how does batchin dwg's work" for any small job per dwg....

THanks for asking and answering, both of you guys!

If you're looking to do something to multiple files, take a gander at the Batch Engine in my siggy, or do a search on this forum for similar keywords; the question has been asked and answered several times.
