Batch Utility that read and writes attributes to several drawings 2

[dano2000]

We purchased AutoCAD 2004 a few months ago and I need some additional information:
(I am relatively new to AutoCAD)

I need a program/utility that opens one or several AutoCAD files chosen through a dialog box or script, opens these files sequentially, executes one or more user defined commands or scripts on a drawing, closes the file and then carries out the same action on the next drawing.

The utility would need to read from or write to a text or database file dependant whether the information is being read from the drawing or if the drawing is being amended.

An Example of what I need to do is:
Changing the revision date in the title block on a series of drawings
Modifying attributes etc…

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I don't know of any tool that can do multiple scripts but Multi-Batch (

http://www.multi-batch.com/)

can probably do what you are asking for.
As for modifying attributes (I take it that you mean the properties of the attributes),, I think you will have to update the original block and then re-insert it (if you want to do it as a batch operation).

Regards,

Tom

Try this free download:

It edits Autocad attributes from excel.
You export them to expel as batch process,
then write the changes in Excel,
then import the changes back into drawings.

Hope this helps.
