Hi All,

I'm trying to create a process where a user double-clicks on a .DXF file in windows, and DraftSight automatically:

1) Opens
2) Opens the file
3) Selectall (Select all text in the file)
4) Explodetext (Concert all text into polygons)
5) Save as new name
6) Closes

Preferably where the user doesn't even see draftsight.

Questions:
1) Can DraftSight do this?
2) Do I need to use the API?
3) Is there another tool better suited for the job?
