Hi Group
We have around 1200 .model files needing to converted to dxf.
Is it possible to batch process?

Possible - but not without some scripting help.

Are all of your files the same size drawing sheet?

It's been a while since I used CATIA v4 but if I remember correctly...

From the command line type in

catutil -XM -l catdxf

If you have the proper licenses you can batch out all of your CATIA v4 2D models to DXF. Depending upon what level of CATIA you are on and how your declaration files are set up you will get a DXF in a Autodesk v12 or v13 format.

Hope this helps
Jim
 

I assumed you were talking about batch from Catia V5... Sometimes I forget this isn't a V5 only forum.

Sorry about that!
