batch convert Dwg to Png

This is not really a question unless I phrase it: "Does anyone need to do batch conversions of DWG files to PNG files?"

When working with CAD programs that utilize the DWG file format it is sometimes desired to convert a group of the CAD files into another graphic format such PNG, SVG or PDF. This may be because these formats are required for documentation, menu systems or are to be used on web sites. Converting each DWG file using the built in functions and menu system is adequate for a single file but quickly becomes tiresome time consuming task for multiple files. The Dwg2Png process automates this task allowing one to utilize their time more efficiently.

This process is not limited to converting DWG files to PNG files. With three simple files this methodology may be used as the basis to automate processing an entire directory structure or a single file for such things as printing, backups, distribution or data extraction. This would of course require that someone develop the appropriate CAD script and/or command files(s) for the target process. It is a simple matter to do this for exporting PNG, JPG, PDF, DXF, SVG and EMF file formats. Tasks such as printing could be a tad more challenging.

The archive contains two command files, one script file, five simple DWG files and a PDF file that fully documents the process. You can download the archive from http://www.keywild.com/cad_library
