RE: .dwg to .dwt script file problems

Hi,

The extension .DWT is used for template files, however, your script doesn't indicate that you are attempting to open such a file, but a .dwg file. So, what's the problem?

RE: .dwg to .dwt script file problems

Hi,

Try this in your script:
fileopen <drawing.dwg>
saveas Template <enter key>

Good luck
