Thanks for getting me started, I didnt even know I had pro/batch. I am having some problems getting it to work though. Basically only way i could figure out how to open it is in the start run command type in pro_batch. Not sure how to actually get it to do something
 
You can run from windows explorer....it's a little easier if you copy the batch file to the folder that you have all your parts in..either way

in the Pro/Engineer command field... you want what's in your target of your shortcut that runs proe

you grab your files with the browser, set the action you want ..convert to iges ...then you save the batch file under a name... myfiles.bat in the batchfile field

then hit the clock icon...go get coffee :)
 
when you copy the target info from the proe shortcut properties ...don't grab the quotes

the bat file you name will look something like this

-iges -object C:\wf_config\acad_rend\test_fea.prt.3

pretty sure that has to end with a .bat extension
it will generate a log and a list when complete, so you can review what got done
