Run the batch file to execute the script using the export profile.
When the batch file process is finished, there will one SDF file for each DWG file in the original folder. You can add data from the SDF files to any map using Data Connect in AutoCAD Map 3D toolset.
Note:
This exercise continues the process of batch-exporting from the previous exercise, Creating the Batch File.
To run the batch file
- Copy the DWG files, the AutoCAD script, and the batch file into the folder you created for the export operation.
- Run the batch file.
- On your desktop, click Start
Run.
- In the Run dialog box, enter cmd.
- At the DOS prompt, enter chdir and enter the full path to the folder containing the batch file.
- Enter the name of the batch file.
- On your desktop, click Start
Where you are now
You created a DOS batch file that runs an AutoCAD script and applies settings from an AutoCAD Map 3D toolset Export profile. The batch file exports a folder of DWG files to SDF format.
