Brad, I have already this type of setup for configuring my plotters, but no, it's not really what I am after. As I mentioned earlier, when you have 500+ drawings to process, I feel that this type of approach would be too time consuming, hence the need for a more effective approach. I am trying to process all the drawings sequentially without the need to use DXFOUT. If I can get the drawing name, revision, date, project, description and so on out of the drawing by reading the compiled file, then I will have come up with a FAST method of extracting info. In the past, I had a Lisp routine that prompted the user for this kind of info, then wrote the data out in a CDF format to a sequential file. Again, I am trying to improve on this, and I get the feel that quite a bit of work may be involved. If you have any suggestions along this line, then please forward them to me. Thanks for the help, Regards, Jim.
