CAD - Cadkey CADL or CDE batch conversion to DXF

Expert: <font color=#6b238e>J. </font><font color=#ff7f00>B. </font><font color=#0000ff>Borge</font> - 1/9/2009

Question
I have been reading this forum up and down, but I have not found the proper resource to modify/write a CADL or CDE file that can be called from inside CADKEY 97 or from the commandline that will batch convert .prt files to .dxf.  I know there has got to be a way.

Answer
Hello John, It's been a while since i've used Cadkey but if i remember it correctly, the CDE is a separate executable file (doesn't run w/in Cadkey). You might have to search thru the same install directory where your Cadkey.exe is located at.

Here's the orig. post that might help explain a little for batch translating your prt files:
