First of all, I hope you have a very big hard disk. .. IGES files are verbose. 3 to 10 times bigger than the same drawing in AutoCAD format, I'd guess. .. I suspect you could do what you propose to do by using DOS to make a text file that listed all the drawings in a directory (something like: .. DIR *.DWG>DRAWINGS.TXT .. and then use lisp to go through the text file making up another file, a script file, that would call up the next drawing, issue and IGESOUT, quit, and call up the next drawing. .. How's that for a pointer? .. Good luck! .. Lansing Pugh Authorized AutoCAD Dealer / Austin, Texas / (512) 441-4666
