About Scott Cook
Expertise
I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!

Experience
Since 1987. Author of Plot2000 software for for AutoCAD, http://www.plot2000.com. PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS ONLY PLEASE. Questions that are NOT related to programming or AutoCAD customization (menus and lisp only please) are outside the scope of my volunteer services and will NOT BE ANSWERED.

AutoCAD - Saving mass drawings into earlier file formats


Expert: Scott Cook - 9/29/2006

Question
The problem is that if I have 150 files saved in ACAD 2007 version then I must open each one individually and save it as x in an earler format for the file to be compatibale with ACAD 2002.

Or do I? Is there an easier, faster way of mass saving all of these files?

Answer
you'll need a batch processing program. I have one I give away called runbatch, which you can get by downloading plot2000 from www.plot2000.com.
you'll need to write a little lisp routine to do the saveas for you. runbatch will open each dwg and run any lisp routine you want on it.
