I know there is a way, but I need some help on setting this up...I need to use the 2d Exchange translator to batch translate a number of files in a folder into dwg/dxf. The files in this folder are all master drafting files, so the actual models reside elsewhere. I need the batch to update the active sheet ONLY then export the same sheet to dwg...

Also is there a way to map the line font differently so the prints looks better in dwg. I want to map the "dashed" lines in UG to an Autocad linetype of "hidden2" and "phantom"(UG)...to "phantom2" (dwg). Out of the box the result is that all dashed and phantom line scales are so big they appear solid in dwg.

If someone would happen to have a batch file that will do this, or something close, and all I have to do is populate it with my list of files...that would be perfect!
