utility for batch save 2006-2000?
(OP)
Is there a way to save several drawings done in 2006 to a 2002 compatible format? I work in two locations, and files shared between the two, e.q. my block library, tend to get saved as 2006 format (who can remember to back save each time you close a file? it just happens...), so I can't use them at the 2002 location. Are there any utilities that can back-save several as a batch?
I have on occasion used DWG GATEWAY in the past, maybe I should keep that at the 2002 location for emergencies.
any help appreciated,
sundemon

RE: utility for batch save 2006-2000?
Maybe a couple of options:
- Tell AutoCAD to always save as 2k2, Options, Open and Save tab, and then select the format for AutoCAD to always save as.
- Either ScriptPro or The Migration Assitant Tool may be of some help with this.
- Finally, you can write the old style script files to batch your files.

Can I google the items mentioned in #2 t find out about them.
Could you shed a little light on what you mean by "old style scripts"?

The migration assistant tool and script pro are both Autodesk products and usually come with AutoCAD, if not you might look on www.autodesk.com and see if you can download them.
The old style scripts are just an ascii file with with extension .scr, and all it contains are AutoCAD commands, a simple file for you might be something like this:
CODE
C:\DWGS\MYFILE.DWG
.saveas
R2000
C:\DWG\MYFILE2000.DWG
