Run Macro in Multiple Files

[Lee Mac]

Ugh... I feel so out of it. It's been a year since I've even touched a program, and now I'm doing it while multitasking with sleep deprivation!

 

I know how you feel - there are some programming tasks that I do very rarely and always find myself having to re-learn everything all over again...

 

To save you some time in reading up on AutoLISP & Scripts just for this task, you could use my free Script Writer program which will do most of the automation for you.

 

Instructions:

 

• Save my DeleteBlocksV1-0.lsp file to your AutoCAD Support Path.
  

 

• Copy the drawings to be processed to a new temporary folder so that you are working with copies (always recommended when batch processing!).
  

 

• In a new blank drawing, load & run my Script Writer program.
  

 

• For the 'Script Line', type the following (change the highlighted block names to suit):
  

_.open *file* (load "DeleteBlocksV1-0.lsp" nil) (if LM:DeleteBlocks (LM:DeleteBlocks (LM:acdoc) '([highlight]"Block1" "Block2" "Block3"[/highlight]))) _.qsave _.close

• Select the temporary folder of drawings to be processed.
  

 

• Run the Script.
  

 

 

I hope this helps - if you get stuck, just ask.
