Simple DraftSight Script & close command

Simple DraftSight Script & close command

Simple DraftSight Script & close command

(OP)
Hello Everybody,

My problem is quite similar to http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=315908#... (closed thread, no answer given)

I'm trying to run a DraftSight script (with prompt commands, no API), with a batch command (on several files). It should save a DXF file as a DWG file.
The script stops when I use the close command, so I'm not able to do my batch when I close the first file.

This script won't work until the end :

CODE --> script

Open c:\TEST1.dxf
SaveAs Open c:\TEST1.dwg
Close
Open c:\TEST2.dxf
SaveAs Open c:\TEST2.dwg
Close 
This script will stop after the 1st close command, and won't go further.
Any idea why ?

I Also tried this without success :

CODE --> script

Open c:\TEST1.dxf
SaveAs Open c:\TEST1.dwg
Open c:\TEST2.dxf
SaveAs Open c:\TEST2.dwg
Close
Close 
But DraftSight will only Save As DWG the first DXF (TEST1) two times, and won't bother taking care of TEST2, even if it's displayed on the screen at the end of the script.

Any hint would be appreciate, thanks in advance.

PS : I'm new there, if there is a section where I should introduce myself, please let me know.

I'm sorry, I did a mistake, it's not not
SaveAs Open c:\TEST1.dwg
but
SaveAs c:\TEST1.dwg


So here is the correct script :

CODE --> Script

Open c:\TEST1.dxf
SaveAs c:\TEST1.dwg
Close
Open c:\TEST2.dxf
SaveAs c:\TEST2.dwg
Close 

And the second also corrected :

CODE --> Script

Open c:\TEST1.dxf
SaveAs c:\TEST1.dwg
Open c:\TEST2.dxf
SaveAs c:\TEST2.dwg
Close
Close

Hello,

Maybe it wasn't clear, but the "corrects" scripts of my second message don't work neither.

If someone succeed in runing script on several file in DraftSight, please let me know.
