Dxf To Dwg

[happyunited]

I have quite a number of dxf files that need converting to dwg. Is there a quick way of doing this so I dont have to open (2000) them all one by one?

 

Cheers in advance

I'm guessing there is a batch utility that would take care of the task for you. Anyone have a clue what it might be named?

[happyunited]

I am hoping there is one. Thera re plenty on the net to buy but we dont want to be doing that.

Here's a link to one (bi-directional too) but unfortunately it isn't free.

Dang! You're too quick. Yep...free is a price everyone can afford. LOL

[ReMark]

OK...so free doesn't exactly mean easy-to-find. How about cheap?

 

Try this link. You'll have to scroll down slightly to see the listing that reads DXF to DWG. I see one listing for $69 (US).

AutoDesk had this about a program called Scriptpro:

It was in the forum for AC 2000.

Information overload coming up! Check this link out. I think you'll be pleased. It's about Scriptpro for AutoCAD 2007.

Cheers for that. How easy is this script pro to use? will it convert a load od dxf to dwg for me?

 

Cheers for the help, much appreciated

Listen happyunited (are you related to happygolucky?), I can only provide one service at a time. Finding stuff is one thing. Knowing anything about it...well, that's quite a different matter. What do I look like...the great and all powerful OZ? Why don't you try it out and then come back and tell us? We'd all love a good story. Just make sure it has a happy ending. Thanks.

We have to get IT TO INSTALL stuff for us and that can be quite time consuming to be honest and I dont want to go to the hassle of getting it installing only for it to not work ): you see?

I see said the blind man to his deaf wife.

 

Tell your IT department that you are all big boys and girls now and every once in awhile you're going to take the proverbial bull by the horns and tackle the problem headon...yourselves.

 

I'd come over and do it myself but it's a bit of a row across the stormy Atlantic at this juncture.

 

Maybe you'll luck out. Post a thread asking if anyone here has ever used Scriptpro to do a batch conversion of any type. Or, visit the AutoDesk forums and see if anyone has ever posted anything good, bad or indifferent about the program.

 

That's about the best I can do for you mate. I wish you every success in your endeavors. Tally ho!

Thanks very much for your help ReMark.
