Batch DWG to SLD converter

[CJJ]

I am updating our block libraries and I have a few hundred DWG files that I need to convert to SLD format. There doesn't seem to be a way in AutoCAD to convert an entire directory or list of files, and TrueView doesn't even know what to do with SLD files. I have looked for some third party software and can't find anything to use.

 

I was wondering if there was a Lisp routine or maybe a .Bat file that can convert a lot of DWG files to SLD at once.

 

Thanks!

There is a SLD to DXF converter at the CADforum website. After the conversion you would have to use AutoCAD's DXFin command to open the file and then save it as a DWG file. Sounds like a lot of work.

Easy I have done hundreds you just write a script you will be amazed how fast it will run.

 

open dwg1 mslide close n

open dwg2 mslide close n

 

(caution theres a couple of spaces for enter key responce between mslide close)

 

Look up my posts and others have explained how to generate dwg lists from the CMD (start button) and then edit with excel or word to make script. It only takes minutes.

 

start 12:40 dir *.dwg >dwg list

edit in word

finished 12:45
