first tiny little help is "DIR2HTML".

You will get name and size as a *.html file -> then you can copy it to Excel...

RE: Make a listing of drawing
use your command prompt
( start-> exec... ->%compec% <enter> )
go in the folder you have drawings
cd \(name of the folder)
and execute
dir *.dwg /ogn>>c:\list.txt
a file called c:\list.txt will be created with the list of your .dwg files sorted by name.
Of couse you can use any dir options like /s if you need subfolders too or /ogs if need to order by size.
Good luck.

Just select the path to the drawings, and you can even add comments to your dwg files. Has a nice export feature to export dwg names, dates, comments etc to a tab delimited file that can be imported into excel

dir > dir.txt
Now save the one line in that file.
Now copy that file to whatever directory you want to make a list of ... and double click on it ... through WINDOWS.
Give it a couple of seconds.
A text file should appear at the bottom. (dir.txt)
Import that into Excel.
See if that works for your purposes.
Let me know.

It help me a lot
RE: Make a listing of drawing
I have just a small improvement, create the file with:
dir %1 %2 %3>dir.txt
so you'll can use 3 dir tags if you need. Like *.dgw /b /ong o whatever.

And I figured someone would add those modifiers to the BATCH file.
And Flores ....
The difference between Melko & mine is the BATCH file.
The Drag/ drop & Double click associated to the BATCH file ... makes it "windows" friendly.
But really ... Melko had the right idea.
I just added the BATCH file spin.
And Melko & CADaver added the DOS modifiers which are nice!
stars for everyone.
