Jim — After thinking about it, I don't think you need anything more complex than a simple script file, similar to this: .. 2 test1 dxfout test1 6 quit y 2 test2 dxfout test2 6 quit y 0 .. This file can be executed from the OS command prompt with the string .. acad x test .. and it will load AutoCAD, start executing the script file (which we have named TEST.SCR), edit a drawing file named TEST1.DWG, DXFOUT the drawing to a file named TEST1.DXF, quit the Drawing Editor, and repeat the process on file TEST2.DWG. After it writes the last DXF file, it exits AutoCAD and returns to the OS prompt. Is this the type of thing you were talking about? — Brad ..
