AutoCAD - Mass Convert DWG To DXF (Batch Convert DWG To DXF) (Mas DWG Convert)

Hi Guys,:)

 

I Wanted To Mass Convert Some DWGs To DXFs,

So, I looked Around and found some commercial softwares and also some lisp routine, but they didn't workout as i expected so i made a software (to interpret scripts).

Autocad Batch Script Creator.jpg

it works fine in converion of dxfs, so i thought this software might be usefull to some who want to mass convert dxfs,

here is the software: AutoCAD Script Writer.zip

 

This Software doesn't Require Installation, (It Runs Directly)

 

 

 

::REQUIREMENTS::

1. AutoCAD which supports LISP routines (eG; full versions of AutoCAD 2010, But not AutoCAD LT Versions)

 

::Usage::

1. In The "Location Of Files To Be Processed" Box, Paste The Location Where U have ur dwg files. (Default value is "D:\SomeFolder"). Dont Give A Root Location Such As "D:\" or "C:\" etc;

 

2. In The "Command" Box, The Default Code Is Written For DXF Conversion, U can modify and write ur own Macros here, (If U know Acad Scripting Language)

 

3. Pressing the "Create Script" Button will create a "Script.scr" file at the location of the dwg files

 

4. Now Open AutoCAD, Now Press [Control]+[N] In AutoCAD, A New Window will be opened

 

5. Now All U Have To Do Is Drag The "Script.scr", into the AutoCAD's Canvas (which is a blank black window usually)

 

6. And thats it, autocad will start converting the DWGs to DXFs

 

Thanks To Lee-Mac, dbroada & Bill-Tillman for giving me the answer and idea to my previous post,

You can use a script en use Scriptpro to run multiple drawings.

It places the DXF in the drawing map.

 

PmxCAD

 

 

Script:

 

FILEDIA

0

_SAVEAS

DXF

The obvious you dont need to delcare as a defun just run command or load the defun once into acaddoc.lsp then just call the defun (dxfout)

 

A couple of suggestions in scripts the / \ can make the difference

 

Check make a test directory the 200.239 to 200_239 the . may be the problem

 

_.OPEN "D:\\123\\200.239_47.dwg" mspace (command "_.dxfout "" "16" "_.regen" "_.close" "_Y")
or
_.OPEN "D:\\123\\200.240_16.dwg" mspace (TODXF)

Hi iridium, as Bigal suggested in the post above the "." (dot) in the file name is what's causing the problem..

If you have a file mass file renamer (suggestion: "Bulk Rename Utility"), try renaming the files from 222.123 to 222_123.

 

Let me know if it worked..

I have replaced the "." with "_" in the file names. The same problem!

Iridium,

Can you please pack a sample of your 10 files to a zip or rar and paste the link..

I'll extract and see if it's a problem with the dwg or the program execution ...

Iridium,

 

i just generated a script with the 10 samples you gave me, I was able to convert them to dxf without any error, please see attachment below..

DXF.zip

 

Follow below steps,

 

Try opening a new autocad window (a new process/close existing drawings and autocads), then in the Autocad's black canvas try dropping the script on to it..

let me know how it went.

I remember doing this years ago the other way round. DXF to DWG

scripts always started with filedia 0 cmddia 0 then a file list with the saveas commands etc.

 

Used similar scripts for uprevving large batches of drawings, saved lots of tedium.
